Moynihan Asks Big Tax Increase On Ammunition
By ADAM CLYMER
Published: November 4, 1993
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said today that he would insist that President Clinton’s health-care plan include a huge increase in Federal taxes on handgun ammunition that would make some especially destructive bullets unaffordable.
The New York Democrat has often contended that the best way to attack gun violence would be to restrict the sale of ammunition, not guns. Today, for instance, he noted that the nation has a 200-year supply of guns but only a 4-year supply of ammunition.
“Guns don’t kill people; bullets do,” he told the Senate as he introduced his legislation today. “It is time the Federal Government began taxing handgun ammunition used in crime out of existence.”
....
People kill people you moron.
Why must Liberals be so stupid?
It’s very telling that the article describes an increase in the tax rate of ammunition from 7% to 37% as “modest”.
Adam Clymer?
Isn't he a "major league @$$hole"?
