But, you said "a bullet," which implies one person with a gun shooting another. Could you do that day in and day out. I am unsure if I could.

In any event, here is the history of the DP if you are interested:

Also and for what it is worth, the US Const. seemingly prohibits the DP for anything but reason and capital crimes.
