F*ck controlling guns, control the ammunition
Seriously. Let them have their guns but no where in the Constitution does it say owning ammunition is a right. So tax the shit out of it. It worked for smokers.
If you're a sport shooter, you can apply for an exemption, that is a license that carries an annual fee that you must reapply for annually and show proof that you still have that need.
Ban the sale of ammo online.
Ban the sale of ammo at gun shows.
Ban the sale of bulk ammo to individuals.
Create legislation that puts identifying numbers on ammo. If that ammo used in a crime isn't registered to the licensed purchaser and the actor of the crime, then that licensed purchaser shares the responsibility of that crime.
You want to purchase ammo, give them a sample of your DNA, that way illegal use of the ammo makes it easier to catch the offender.
If you want to create ammo at home, ball and musket baby, just like in the good old days.
F*ck controlling guns, control the ammunition because without ammo, guns are useless.

Yeah you seem to be walking and talking like another kind of duck...
of 18th-century guns, i.e, muskets.
Confiscate any gun that is not a musket. 
Thanks for the info - which I am very sorry to hear. 
it's like baking cookies. If you spend an afternoon on it, you can make dozens of cookies. It's not "kinda like muskets". Brass is expensive and a LOT of shooters load their own cartridges. With shotgun shells in particular, it is a very simple setup. It's easier than making your own pasta.
I jumped into this thread in response to someone who brought up reloading. The people who bring up reloading often overlook the fact that reloaders buy primers in bulk:
Primers are a small capsule of impact explosive material which ignites the rest of the powder in the cartridge.
Most people do not make their own primers, because it is much riskier than reloading and using commercial primers, and involves either doing some chemistry or purchasing monitored chemicals in order to do it in any decent quantity. Yes, there are people who do it, but it is a much, much smaller proportion of people who reload in general. Reloading is NOT an unusual or rare thing among people who regularly play with guns.
The "regulate ammunition" thing, which has been raised a zillion times on DU, regularly meets with the "but people can reload" objection. However, by also regulating primers, a lot of the reloading goes away. It also makes shooting much more expensive (see note above on brass).
You seem to be unfamiliar with the argument, counterargument and rebuttal here, and much more interested in finding people to make some kind of personal attack against. I wouldn't give two shits if the 2nd Amendment were interpreted to encompass all arms available in 1791 as I've posted elsewhere here, and a general ban on semi-auto's. People had a fine time with bolt action rifles for a very long time historically, and semi-auto's have only been more recently widely available and popular (a few decades in perspective).
"we have to do something"
Well if "something" is acting like a dick to people seeking to respond to a salient point raised by someone else in the thread, then you are certainly doing something.
