Isn't oenerous tax levied on ammunition akin to a poll tax? The 2nd Amendment is not something which only a few can afford.
But this is not an argument I have heard, though one I believe is true.
And FWIW, my fiancee bought the last AR-15 in the 3 county radius yesterday. And I have purchased about 4 guns since mid-October.
Anyone who owns guns and voted for Obama needs thei head examined.
Gun sales are up as much as 700% in some areas.
Again? Another run?

We had a table at a gun show here in NY this weekend. Guy came up from Penn. looking for a M1 Garand and ended up buying one from my BIL.
Got to chatting, and I had to ask how they could have voted Murtha back in after his insults. He said “ Who”? WTH He then said he would have voted for Obama if his registration hadn’t expired. Talk about head up a$$.
When I stocked up on hollow points at Walmart, the clerk asked me my name and address. I told him “None of your business”
Then he asked “What kind of gun are these for?” I replied “None of your business!”
He then asked why I was buying hollow points, and I again told him “None of your business!”
Then he said “I am supposed to ask”. I told him that “I don’t care what you are supposed to ask, it’s still none of your business!”
BLOAT!
I just left the Nashville gun show, Bought my son his first gun. A stainless all weather Ruger 10/22. Everyone’s arsenal should have at least one, it is the small block chevy of firearms. Many dealers were sold out of popular caliber ammo.
Full capacity magazines for handguns and rifles are going fast also. Some sales are made by plain folks hedging their supply, and some sales are speculators stocking up for when a 30 round ar mag will be going for 50 or 100 dollars.
Gear up, ammo up, mag up
It’s the American way!
Don’t forget, a muzzle loader is a great way to deliver 300 grains.
What chance does a renewed AWB have of being passed?
Most of the gun stores here (Anchorage) are just about BINGO for ammo.
Reloading components are getting hard to come by as is, of all things, black powder.
I also noted at the local big box store that air gun ‘ammo’ (pellets) was all but gone - I got the last of the good .22 hunting pellets.
Guess it is time to break down and purchase some more molds.....
If I had the money I’d be buying a couple of dozen myself.
It will be interesting to watch when they try to get the guns out of the south side of Chicago, Detroit, Philly, Washington DC and East LA.
The far left, whackos, foolish, etc. voted with their wallets on Tuesday.
This is just regular Americans voting with their wallets, post-election.

Start with Cooper Firearms - Supported Obama. They in turn should be drummed quickly out of business. They claim it was only “Dan Cooper” president and CEO. When the head of a firm supports Obammo-Grabber - you know its a systemic stupidity problem in the firm.
The ammunition manufacturers should stop taking ammo orders from the police and concentrate on the public.
Sorry, Chicago Police, we’re out of ammo. We sold everything to the gunshops in Texas, Wyoming and Montana. [click].
There is no “run on guns”. But thatnks to hysterical, race-baiting articles like this, there may well be one after all.
Silly people, do none of them remember the scene from Red Dawn, “go to the sporting goods stores and get from the files.... obtain form 4473 - this will contain descriptions of weapons and lists of private ownership”?
A poll tax, ammo tax, speech tax, etc., would all be assaults on enumerated rights, but with the new 'living constitution' I doubt there would be any legislative or judicial sympathy to the restrictions imposed by massive firearms and ammunition taxes. Obama could impose restrictive taxes on guns and ammunition with an executive order, and I doubt anyone would call him on it.

Of course it is. Ditto the $200 NFA tax.

Leftists are great friends of the gun owner, right up until they get into power. They have a perfectly consistent history.
Obama win triggers run on guns in many stores
Anybody who couldn't see that coming, needs their head examined.
Cue up the Who, "Won't Get Fooled Again."
Went to the gunshow yesterday. I was in line at 8:30. By 9 am, when the doors opened, there were at least 200 people in line. I looked quickly for someone with AR-15 receivers for sale and bought two. By 9:15, all 14 he had brought to the gun show were sold. Any military style rifle was selling well. By 12, the ammo guy was practically sold out.
Yes, I know that some say not to post because they don’t want to give Zerobama’s thugs any help, but if it gets as bad as we expect, it won’t matter.
This is what happens when you nominate a Republican to the top of the ticket who is a virtual clone of a VERY unpopular President - minus even the pretense of being pro-gun.
We wouldn’t be in this mess if Republicans had stuck to a limited government platform even after 9/11, and not handed Democrats an executive branch with way too much power.
Think about that as Obama starts using the Patriot Act to go after conservatives and constitutionalists who post in threads like this one.
Don’t forget too that once back in power, establishment Republicans (unlike Democrats), rarely (never?) permit limited government conservatives to roll back socialism previously enacted by Democrats. So we can safely assume that much of the gun control passed in the next two years will stay on the books for good.
