Chris Rock Just Figured Out How To End Gun Violence In America

There’s no getting around it. ?Guns are here to stay in America. ?And with them come the heartbreaking gun violence stories of murder and mayhem, and the uplifting tales of a life saved or a criminal stopped.

But what if the stories of murder and mayhem became the less often heard news, the least seen images on TV, and the dwindling headlines in newspapers? ?If you could change one thing to make that happen … wouldn’t you?

Limiting guns is never going to completely stop the problem. ?It’s an important component, but it’s not the key to making it all go away. ?So what is the answer then? ?Well, perhaps Chris Rock might just have the solution that America has been looking for.

No really. ?Just listen to him and then think for a moment. ?He’s got the solution right here.

?You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. Man, we need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars? five thousand dollars per bullet? You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders.?

Every time somebody got shot we’d say, “Damn, he must have done something … Shit, he’s got fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his ass.”?And people would think before they killed somebody if a bullet cost five thousand dollars.

“Man I would blow your fucking head off … if I could afford it.?I’m gonna get me another job, I’m going to start saving some money, and you’re a dead man. You’d better hope I can’t get no bullets on lay away.”

So even if you get shot by a stray bullet, you wouldn’t have to go to no doctor to get it taken out. Whoever shot you would take their bullet back, like, “I believe you got my property.?
