Ammunition Accountability Act!

[Twin01cobra]

You're right, you don't get it.

It has nothing to do with the government collecting a little extra income...it has everything to do with the government levying MASSIVE taxes on ammunition that makes it unnattainable for regular people- making your guns worthless. What good is a rifle without cartridges for it?

This is a tactic that's been used in the past- the National Firearms Act of 1933 was the first instance- the federal government was afraid to outright ban machineguns because of the Second Amendment...so, instead, the levied an extremely high tax (for it's day) on them, and required all owners to be able to produce evidence that they'd paid this tax. Since no one but the very, very wealthy could afford the tax, machine guns were effectively banned.

Well said, just as I said before, it will be like having a car with no gas.

Doctors vs Gun owners


Doctors

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is

700,000

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians
per year are 120,000

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Now think about this:

Guns

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S.
is 80,000,000.
(Yes, that's 80 million)


(B) The number of accidental gun deaths
per year, all age groups, is
1,500.


(C) The number of accidental deaths
per gun owner is 0.000188.

So, statistically, doctors are approximately
9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT
ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends

alarming threat.

before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large,
I withheld the statistics on lawyers

My 2 (now 5) cents...

If the state wants my name connected to my ammo, whatever. They don't have to use a database to find me - if I ever have to shoot someone chances are I'll be the first person that calls 911. Taxing me 5 cents a round? I don't think so.

Fortunately, I highly doubt this legislation will ever pass. I'll do my part anyway...co-sponsor Dan Frankel just happens to be my district's state rep. Guess who just lost a vote?

Anyway this best sums up the current state of the bill:

Also, somewhere I read that reloaders would be exempt but this is sketchy.
