.22 rimfires are included, so shooting a .22 will soon cost you as much as my .45auto does now.

Also, the tax is per "ammunition component," which means handloaders are royally screwed. Ten cents for the bullet, ten cents for the primer, ten cents for the brass, etc.

If this passes, it's time to go buy myself a couple thousand rounds.

If it passes, you should switch to .50BMG. The tax won't affect you, that way =)

You need to get out to the range more often, counselor!

Seriously, do you see any basis for legal challenges that could be mounted against this bill in particular, and the general wave of enthusiasm for "fees" (which can be passed by a simple majority), in place of "taxes"? I mean, after the legislature passes all of this rot, of course.

The salutary thing is that this bill, if signed into law, will do wonders for the gun industry in Nevada.

California Democrats are nothing if not stupid. The smuggling industry that this will create will be remarkable.

Expect the local Triad and Yakuza soldiers to do a brisk business in smuggling.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Since tha tax is per round, I guess that means I should get more bang for my buck. Time to buy that 50 cal rifle, and a Desert Eagle....
