Well considering subscription services you pay for regardless of if you use them I have to disagree. Bullets are more akin to gas in your car or electricity for your electronic devices. You only pay for them when you use them and only based on how much you use them.

Do you need to subscribe to buy bullets? Or can you purchase them as and when required ?

This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.

Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"

Not true. Bullets you purchase and own unlike something you pay monthly fees for but never actually hold physically. Sorry but this missed the mark ironically

poor choice of words. there are plenty of subscriptions you can get for physical products. Magazines, newspapers, comic books, preplanned meals...

Bullets should cost $5000. When the police show up and see $25,000 worth of bullets in a person they’ll be like “damn, he must have done somethin!”

Food is a subscription service you pay for to use your utensils.

And a militarized police, and innocent deaths are the subscription we all pay so some people can indulge in this fetish.

We don’t have militarized police because people own guns. I’m sure it’s a factor, but an interesting correlation I ran into recently was that the more African Americans there are in a community corresponds to an equivalent increase in the deployment of SWAT teams. Unfortunately, the available data only exists for Maryland because they’re the only state that keeps track of SWAT team deployments.
