[QUOTE="Fantine, post: 75936034, member: 114159"] When I lived in St. Louis County in the 1990's, St. Louis City had gun buyback programs. They were also very concerned because the hospitals had so many gunshot victims who required very expensive medical care and who were uninsured. While obviously our country needs national health insurance, perhaps in the form of Medicare for All, we all know that hospitals who provide a lot of uncompensated care go out of business. It would certainly be fair to tax ammunition for the purpose of covering uncompensated medical expenses for victims of gun violence. It would be hard to say that bullets didn't hurt people... Of the four states I lived in, Missouri, St. Louis County, was my very favorite. It breaks my heart to see how that state has moved so far to the right. I remember right before we moved holding a sign at the polls to vote down a referendum for conceal carry--and, thanks to the suburbs of St. Louis and KC, it failed. What happened to all those sensible people? Where did they go? (Well, we had to move, but surely most of them are still there.) [/QUOTE]
