Taxes on bullets isn't a bad thing, if the funds would be applied to costs associated with fire arms by the government. They were used quite oftain in the past as a state would know something was up if more people started buying swords and other weapons, a sign of unrest. Although I must admit a nickel a bullet is a tad extreame.

Forget the nickel, that's the "camel's nose".

If crime is not magically stopped after the nickel tax, (It won't be, and Perata knows it as well as we do), then it will be even easier to raise the existing tax to fifty cents or five dollars a bullet.

And of course, possession of an "untaxed bullet" would be subject to mandatory minimum prison terms.

Taxes on bullets isn't a bad thing,

Every tax is a bad thing. I'll never pay a tax on bullets until people take heed of Joslyn Elders' recommendation to make safer bullets.

Senator Don Perata is that you?

"Taxes on bullets isn't a bad thing,"

Taxes on a Right is always a bad thing. Wake up.

"...Taxes on bullets isn't a bad thing..."

Then you won't mind the one cent per word tax that has just been imposed on you---please send your monthly tax payments to Jim Robinson.

Could you please interpret this sentence? I don't understand.

RIGHT! Sure. Consider this scenario...

"Leftennant! Who are these characters buying large amounts of amunition??? I don't recognize the name G.Washington... and who is this T. jefferson? Go out and arrest them... they must be planning something against His Majesty's government!"

Would you mind explaining what the hell you're babbling about?
