LOL, allow me to clarify... 5 cents per round is not a huge tax when considering large calibers, which can be almost a buck a round. A 5-10% tax is surprisingly low for the Dems. Personally, ANY ammo tax is offensive and moronic, as are the rules for ammo encoding (as if the bad guys won’t just use the newly-created black market to get “clean” ammo which can be easily and cheaply made by anyone with reloading equipment, etc).

Ammo is already taxed. There are built-in taxes to support wildlife on ammo and firearms. Further, we pay sales tax on the purchase. This is another tax intended to drive ammo out of the range of affordability. It may start at 5 cents a round. Plan on it being driven up until you can afford it. Politicians never remove a tax. Stop it NOW.

um I beg to differ. 2000 rounds of .22 would be 100.00. I don't call that insignificant. 300 rounds .45 15.00. It's already expensive enough and I'm not giving them more money for it. Reload you own, tell them to go black off

“5 cents per round is not a huge tax when considering large calibers”

So I take it that you are in favor of a poll tax too?
