Gun control via bullet taxation

[Dirk Williams]

Was reading an article on a new wave of gun control.

If I read this right rather then continuing to bump their pin heads on the 2nd amendment, the gun grabbers are again going to attack the ammo supply chain like Calif tried to do a year or so ago.

Calif's was over turned by the courts as I recall as Im hoping this attack on our free speech and gun rights will be as well.

Anybody read further in depth on this, Im curious as to who the sponsors are and what the predicted outcome will be.

Sadly it's looking like 2 of our highest court will be retiring soon and Barry may be in a position to appoint 2 more to the court.

If you will recall the 2nd amendment only held by one vote last time at that level. Scary shit .

I believe it may have been Wayne LaPierre who claimed this on one of the morning TV talk shows IIRC.

Do you have a link to the article you are referencing?

I have been worried and waiting for the anti-gunners to have the proverbial light bulb go on concerning the ammo issue for a long time. "A camera is no good without film" the saying used to go before digital photography. In fact, I hate to even talk about it because it creates a "hit" for some search engine and that could give some anti-gunner ideas.

But I'll offer this: ammo is easier to smuggle than firearms. If the anti-gunners tax ammo prohibitively it will create a gigantic black market for ammunition.

I also can't leave this post without paying lip service to a conspiracy theory: that the left will mount some sort of smear and/or extortion campaign to get at least two conservative SCOTUS members to retire in Obama's second term, thereby giving him the opportunity to appoint two liberal anti-gunners, which of course he will dutifully achieve through some procedural chicanery without worrying about them being "confirmed" .

I've studied this for years, and they will eventually want you to have to buy your ammo with a NICS check just like when buying a firearm. You will also have your purchases entered into a registry where they can limit the number of rounds you buy in a certain period of time. It's a nightmare. No more ordering cases of ammo at good prices shipped right to your door. No more buying enough for training classes, or SHTF, just because "you might be a terrorist if" you bought more than the Uncle Sam Recommended Daily Requirement.

Buy your ammo now.

Doc Glock, Im not very good on a computer to make this link, so here's the name of the web site.

"SHTF.com"

Ive also read it on a couple survival blogs and I think on The Blaze.com.

Been putting together another bullet order for many 1000 rounds of multi calibers. Having problems finding some in one order that won't be back ordered.

We have lots of bullets already, just feel deep down that more bullets is the right thing to do at this time. I'd rather have them and not need them, then to need them and not have them.

It's a Boy Scout thing.

I don't know how vetted that website is, but they site FoxNews as their source. At least I wouldn't accuse Fox of Alex Jones type hysterics.

[Dirk Williams]

Doc, that's the site.

Being retired now I read alot. Vetted means little to me, as I don't view any of this stuff as the end all, know all. It's just info to be digested and see where it fits into the big picture.

I do try to read in an objective manner and gain knowledge that will eventually fill in the blanks of time.

I also try and locate the same info from multi sources.

I enjoy throwing this stuff out cuz I find all of you here are pretty informed and also study the situation via multi sources.

This one will bear poisoned fruit eventually.

That's why it's important to be ahead of the curve rather then sucking hind tit.

It all stems for a chris rock skit. maybe not it was pretty funny, talking about a gangsta having to get a second job to afford one bullet to shoot a rival gang member.

Illinois has a bill sitting in committee that would impose a 2% tax on ammo sold in Illinois. Also in committee is a bill for a $65 per handgun state-wide registry.

Just wait till the UN Small Arms Treaty is voted on this summer. . .

Its not the bullets themselves you need to worry about, but more the primers. If the government really want's to have gun control, control primers and they have you by the balls. I mean bullets themselves you can make at home on a small lathe, primers on the other hand are much more difficult to produce at home.

SCOTUS has mentioned in the Heller and McDonald cases that taxes or regulations amounting to a defacto ban are still a ban. Unless the court changes hands...which it may depending on this next election...a prohibitive tax would be ruled the same way as an outright ban.
