You can relax, he won't take our guns away.

He'll just get the Congress to pass a $1000 tax on each box of ammunition. That'll do the trick. No 2nd Amendment problems.

Here’s a really dumb question from one who may want to purchase a firearm — does the ammo have a “shelf-life?” If one wants the firearm just for home protection, and hopefully it would never need to be used, would purchasing a small amount of ammo be OK? I don’t like the sound of that huge tax increase on ammo!

Ammo tax is akin to a poll tax.

A gun is worthless, little more than a functional door-stop without ammo, and additionally people have the right to bear arms to protect themselves, and thus, also have the RIGHT to reasonably priced ammo.

IMO, unreasonable taxes on ammo are unconstitutional using this ratiocination.
