The nearest sane state is Pennsylvania - will be good for their gun shops (of course we will stock up out of state, you’d have to me a moron to pay 35 cents extra a round).

How is this any different from a poll tax? Both are taxes on exercising a basic right.

It's not. However, for the constitution to mean anything we have to have courts that will enforce it, which we currently don't have.

“The Supreme Court has already ruled that to be unconstitutional.”

Actually, the Constitution ruled it unconstitutional.

Amendment XXIV (Amendment 24 - Abolition of the Poll Tax Qualification in Federal Elections)

1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

“...2 cents per .22 and 5 cents for anything larger/center fire.”

Is that per box, or per round?

As I have said numerous times, the plan is to make gun ownership so expensive and so difficult that most will think it is too expensive and too much hassle.

Our 2a right is enumerated in the constitution AND we have a SCOTUS who should but doesn’t protect all of our rights.

“Most criminal acts actually take place with a firearm which was once legally purchased. And so, yes law-abiding gun owners should pay a little more,” she answered.

WRONG!

You are holding law abiding gun owners accountable for the misdeeds and criminal actions of others they do not know.

That is WRONG.

YIKES!
Glad I bought beacoup cases by the pallet load, via common carrier, at my nursery business, back in the mid-90s. 6 figures for 8 calibers.
