Sadly I think you are right but I do not see most Americans turning their guns over easily. Many gun owners I know are stocking up on ammo & buying more guns that they will hide. This is a sad story indeed. I can not imagine how the family is dealing with their loss.
Even more sadly, over 10 of my dearest friends are police officers. How will they treat me when they will have to consider me an enemy?
Taxes and fees on ammunition are equal to the stamp tax.
