a nickel per bullet ammo tax. That would double 22 LR
It's been spreading ever since Barry from Chicago couldn't get Congress to repeal the second amendment. After that failed to go through, the new plan going forward was to tax every gun, round, bullet, empty case, primer, pinch of powder, bullet mold, sliver of lead, and anything else that can be made into a gun or ammunition.Sadly, we will find out how fast this spreads because this looks like a done deal.
Where are you finding .22LR for 5 cents? Will they ship to me?
A couple of weeks ago, I bought ten boxes of low-end Aguila for $5 a box at the Big5 in Seattle, which matched the same price I'd have paid online, so shipping costs vs. sales tax were pretty much a wash.
I doubt we'll ever see $0.04 .22LR again anywhere. But at an extra $2.50 a box, I won't be buying any on my way home from work either, if this survives court. Seattle's Big5 stores may become the only place in the country where boxes of .22 start to get dusty.
I should just order 10,000 rounds of Aguila blue/yellow box at $0.10 and be done with it.
There isn't any .05 ammo around anywhere.
Oh dear sweet me. That Chris Rock routine is gold, pure gold.If they really wanted to curb gun violence, they would implement the Chris Rock bullet tax. "At $5,000 per bullet, everybody will know he did something to deserve it...they put $50,000 worth of bullets in him." But 5 cents, is just taxing your constituents. Fight it on principle. Find out what the money will be used for. Maybe it is worth it if it pays for gun safety programs, hunter education, and high school target shooting clubs. If it is for anti2a non profits or the general fund, that should be made public knowledge.
