How is gun control gonna keep them from body bombing people?
We are well past the point of logic that merely restricting arms makes terror attacks go down, most in the US have died from explosives and bladed attacks, and the ones who used guns often got lucky because the police responding were highly incompetent or irrational, like in the Orlando Shooting case.
I already developed a unique alternative idea better than gun control, and that’s bullet control, by introducing into the civilian bullet market Bismuth Bullets. Bismuth is a metal that melts very easily, a few shots out of a rifle should be enough to melt the 5/6th bullets if fired in rapid succession, clogging the rifle barrel.
If normal bullets are highly taxed (1000% of current costs, unless bought and used on a sanctioned firing range- they weigh the brass afterwards to make certain your not smuggling many out) Bismuth bullets would be all that is commonly available. The exact grade of alloy might need tweaked per caliber, to insure fairly rapid melting (Caliber Melting Point CMP) but that’s fairly simple to figure out.
Bismuth is non-tixic, used in pepto-bismo. If you let your rifle cool down, you can fire more (a simple electronic thermo on the barrel can tell you this, displayed under the scope’s rear).
Best of all, while it is a serious pain to clean, it can be cleaned, either heated of scraped out. Special cleaning kits is all.
You ask what philosophy is good for, I point to this. I wouldn’t of developed the concept had I not studied philosophy and rhetoric, and pinpointed the weaknesses of the let’s horribly failed and dead end anti-gun campaign. If you weed out most people’s access to bullets through the free market, it is easier to tract who is buying the more serious ammo much easier. Government won’t prohibit it’s sake, just make it insanely expensive, while providing a still quite lethal alternative.
This means anyone can own any non-explosive rifle, even absurd heavy machine guns like a M240… but can only get a few shots off before it clogs.
It won’t stop snipers, and bad hunters will hate me (how many shots do you need to kill a deer?) but other than that, there be no reason for absurd firearm restrictions. If you “really, really wanted” the non-bismuth based bullets, your free to buy them, as is your constitutional right. Just- know they are expensive as fuck. Arguments for home defense needs would fall on deaf ears, as bismuth allows a few shots off… Defending your household shouldn’t require the quantity of ammo used to defend in The Battle of Pork Chop Hill, other people live nearby, you need to just focus your shots off on the intruder instead of laying down blind suppression fire.
I’m the first to think up the concept. That’s the power of philosophy. Terrorists can buy expensive bulk weapons, smuggle one or two bullets out a time at a firing range, or make their own low quality replacements.
I’m guessing they are more the body boning crowd though. Bullet control eliminates the absurd need for gun control, and gun control does nothing. You present a non-solution, think about it.

You would have to rezero a weapon for it (different weight) unless your gonna have a heavier metal core, with bismuth coated to melt and obfuscate the next few bullets by coating the inner barrel with melted busmuth.
I assure you, I’m a expert at clogging weapons, gave years if practice, ask any former squad leader of mine in the army. I can render any weapon system inoperable, requiring extensive cleaning.
