BTW you should know that 80% of all retail $ change hands in 20% of retail establishments.

Great. Do you think it is a good idea to only be able to buy ammo from Walmart?

That being said, cheaters will always cheat. But by eliminating the major reasons for cheating, the problem is minimized....which makes the nrst better than the income tax from a compliance standpoint.

The flea market I go to has almost every useful item imaginable with no sales tax. Some of it is new and some used. With a 20 or 30% tax for "new" it will all become "barely used". Then the plainclothes feds will come and try to sort out what is new and what is not, or else shut the whole place down (it is huge). I can't see any way that they can stop these merchants.

The way I see it, eventually all purchases will have to be made at government approved stores. Just by sheer coincidence that's also what the gun controllers would like.

Huh? Where'd that imagination come from? Is it the case today that one can only buy ammo at walmart? No. What indicates to you that for some heretofor unknown reason, ammunition will be available only at walmart... and this due to the implementation of a nrst... and sunspots no doubt???

What the hell kind of sense does that comment make?

This is a stretch that defies logic. Sorry, I can't see your "leap" from national sales tax to government-approved stores.

Are you forgetting that some states are already funded this way? I don't recall any of them requiring state-approved stores. Caution is good, but let's not be needlessly paranoid.
