An aspect of gun control that other countries practice that doesnβt come up in America a lot is ammunition control. In Japan, if youβre one of the privileged few allowed to own a gun (and only shotguns and rifles are legal), you have to return all your spent cartridges if you want to buy any more. In Israel, after youβve purchased the one gun youβre allowed to own, youβre given a box of 50 bullets, and thatβs it. You canβt buy any ammunition anywhere, thatβs your lifetime supply, although a shooting range will provide you with more, but only for use at that range. Even in countries with more relaxed gun control laws, like Switzerland and Serbia, buying ammunition requires all the same paperwork as buying a gun (mental health records, criminal records, etc) and you can only buy ammo for the gun you own. Gun control advocates in the US should consider placing an emphasis on ammunition control in addition to everything else.
