A 5 cent tax on each round?

Home More advice Jobs & Money

So Obama wants to put a 5 cent tax on each round of ammo. So... if I buy a value pack of 1000 9mm bullets that runs about $350... it'll cost me an EXTRA $50 in taxes???

So what is this tax for? For an encoded ammunition tax legislation. That is... each round would have a serial number that would be registered to the purchaser. This would allow the state police to have an extensive and intrusive database on the ammunition purchasers.

So maybe guns won't be registered... but the ammo will. You have to have a GUN to use the ammo with right? That's a lil too close to comfort on my right to bear arms.

Why is that bad? Registration makes it easy for a tyrannical government to confiscate firearms and make prey of its subjects. Denying this historical fact is no more justified than denying that the Holocaust occurred or that the Nazis murdered millions of unarmed people.

Does this alarm anyone else???

I'm not trying to "cling to my guns" here (I DO live in Pennsylvania) but I do carry for my protection. You really don't know in this world anymore, and I don't trust anyone else but myself to keep me safe.
