“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 $5,000. $5,000 for a bullet. You know why? ‘Cause if a bullet costs $5000 there’d be no more innocent bystanders. That’d be it. Every time someone gets shot, people will be like… ‘Shit, they put $50,000 worth of bullets in his ass.’ People would think before they killed somebody, if a bullet cost $5,000. ‘Man, l would blow your fucking head off, if l could afford it.’ …’You better hope l can’t get no bullets on layaway.’”

I hope, I hope”
