It's all been tried before.
A box or a bullet?
Yep, this will really solve the problem. I am sure the bad guys who shoot people and commit robberies with stolen guns will be really upset when they run out of stolen ammo and make a quick stop at Walmart only to find out they have to pay extra money.
Politicians are not only insane, they are stoopid!
Politician buffoonery creating yet another black market. The Mexican smugglers will love this one.
This is nothing new. I still remember the video of Moynihan laughing and saying we can tax this out of existence.

Oh and adding a hefty tax on tobacco has worked so well to get people to get smoking too.
Freaking idiots!
The bullet tax is nothing new. It has been proposed many times before.
Saw it coming. So sad. Too late “COMRADE”.
“Truth is stranger than fiction”
Chris Rock on making every bullet cost $5,000.00:
“If every bullet cost five thousand dollars, there would be no more `innocent bystanders’”.
“Dude musta did something, they put fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his @ss!”
“And people would think twice! “I would blow your f***ing head off....if I could afford it! I’m gonna get me another job, start saving some money, and you’re a dead man!”
Oh well, got to laugh at something in a world gone mad.
Why doesn’t the Connecticut legislature simply levy a 500% tax on every Connecticut manufactured Colt AR-15 sold for the commercial market?
Why don’t these gun grabbers put their money where their mouths are?
But what if I make my own bullets? (...when I’m not tending the still, of course.)
let’s see now, I decide to shoot up the local nursery school but the tax on bullets is very high. I need about 1,000 bullets, and at the end of my shoot-em up, I’m going to kill myself. I don’t have the cash for the ammunition so I guess I’ll have to put them on my credit card, tax and all. By Wednesday, I’ll be dead and I guess Mastercard will just have to live with it...too bad!!!.....and people actually think that a tax will deter anything.....pathetic

This makes perfect sense. Someone planning to use 100 rounds to kill 50 people at an elementary school, and then himself, will be thwarted by having the rounds cost $1.50 each, instead of a $1.00 each, when the gun and loaded magazines are stolen, but this will have no effect on law-abiding citizens who shoot 100 rounds a week, every week, to retain their skills. Yep, this measure is carefully crafted to do *just* what it was supposed to do, without any unintended consequences.
Say, isn’t there a book of the same name?
Not new. That pompous, verbose, over-rated fat clown Daniel Patrick Moynahan (Spelling?) from New York proposed the very same thing.
Liberal idiots are inventive if not logical.
