A Congresswoman from NY that is a leader of the gun ban agenda was on CNN back in Dec/Jan after the Connecticut massacre and she was really big on ammo taxes and regulation. <br /><br />There is a segment that is smart enough to realize that going after ammo is the most likely way to be successful at achieving the eventual limiting of gun rights. I see them as the most dangerous!<br /><br />How many people are going to be priced out of being able to shoot a gun or become proficient at practicing with the ammo prices we have these days? Even if you can find reloading components the prices are darn high especially with brass. $30+ for 100 brass cases is common these days.<br /><br />The days of sub 30 cents per round of center-fire factory ammo is likely just about gone for ever--certainly much harder to find it even in the low quality import stuff for that low or less. I think the average is more like ~.50 per round these days for most of the common calibers these days. Hunting rifle calibers are darn high too. <br /><br />And then there is much of the magnum ammo and defense "hot" ammo is closer to $1 per round if not more! <br /><br />Shooting is less affordable then ever!<br /><br />There's even more scary regulations they will never give up on until they get it through.<br /><br />I'd like to know what the legislative and case law is with respect to ammo, etc. Is it also covered by the 2nd amendment like the actual firearm? I assume it is less protected. If that's the case then there is much to worry about.<br /><br />No doubt this is driving at least some of the record ammo sales.<br /><br />Then there are storage laws and regulations around possessing powder, ammo, etc....a nightmare!whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10067896665279403979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-15256572774266313052013-09-06T12:27:37.374-06:002013-09-06T12:27:37.374-06:00I think that's prima facie evidence that they ...I think that's prima facie evidence that they *do* have working brains. They want to make having guns so expensive and dangerous, that people just don't risk it. Laws like this are very effective at achieving that goal.Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604826633798229422noreply@blogger.com
