Go ahead and black market it. I get that. But guns... don't blow up. Ammo does. It's not reusable. If you ban guns, you can't get the existing ones to go away, but a gun is useless without ammo, and even if they hoard it, it will either be locked away as precious, not used, or if used, the supply goes down. Responsible owners won't want to use their guns. So they exist for home defense. For hunters, well, is shooting a deer worth $50 per shot? We'll see, but it doesn't preclude the sport entirely. Better be a better shot :-) And if you black market the ammo, it's yet another legal exposure for criminals and criminal organizations. So as flippant as the joke is, I think it has potential. Now for shooting ranges, that's tough. Maybe allow the ammo to only stay at a shooting range, but any ammo carrier outside of the shooting range is the same: very illegal. Maybe there can shooting range ammo that is far less effective (rubber bullets or even less lethal) that will still allow target practice.
