“Bullets are a symbol of violence”…….puhlease! That’s like saying, “women are a symbol of prostitution”, or “matches are a symbol of arson”.
While I’m inclined to view this product line favorably, I don’t know where the owner is coming from with an opening statement about symbols of violence. Why not a symbol of freedom, or independence? Why not a symbol of sport or recreation?
Point made, and finished.
Merry Christmas to all, and may God smile on us next year.
I couldn’t shop there on principle since my bride knows the difference between bullets & cartridges and she wouldn’t wear such being named so; what is being marketed is mostly cartridge components, not bullets.
And the ‘symbols of violence’ thing is a whole transaction ruiner on its own. W. is right on with that interpretation – how about a ‘celebration of freedom’ line of similar jewelry, priced way lower to compete ‘bulletgirl’ (hack/gag: cartridge girl!!!) out of the market?

Too many peace signs; rather strange.

Now here is something that could get you arrested in DC! At least you would be an ideal test case to tear down the “ammo collector permit” laws.

I like the some of the jewelry but OMG! the prices. If the price went down by a factor of 10, maybe.

For the sake of my street cred, I feel the need to note I don’t actually own any of it!
Though, if they made this one in .45ACP and I weren’t trying to pay for school and my private pilot license…

Are those legal in California and Massachusetts?

Pay thousands of dollars for something that’ll get me in trouble at the airport if I’m absent-minded? Puh-lease!

BobG: Very likely.
Even in Massachusetts, I don’t think they’d count as “ammunition components”, as they’re in an unusable state as components.
