Proposed excise tax on ammunition and firearms…again!!
« on: December 16, 2024, 05:57:17 PM »

The Alliance for Gun Responsibility is at it again. They are renewing an effort to push the legislature to introduce a bill for an excise tax on ammunition and firearms. They will not stop until it’s financially impossible to buy guns and ammo, all the while criminals steal it all and continue committing crimes the left won’t hold them accountable for.

Screw these people, red counties need to stand together and ignore these laws just like liberals do to laws they don’t like.

If you aren't stocked up.....start doing it now.  I need enough to get me through the next 10 years......if things haven't changed, I'm getting the heck out of this state.

Amen! 4yrs for me. Retire and then pop smoke and bail. Reloading is a godsend.

Yep, and our ability to buy bulk ammo from out of state vendors is likely soon to be outlawed in WA.  I'm sure fergusson will also back a bill limiting how much ammo we can purchase at a given time.

Limit primers and powder.
Even Cali can get ammo with 03 ffl

Huh. I forget. Why was the second amendment in there? Oh yeah! I remember! To resist a tyrannical Government from trying to crush any chance of rebellion against a crushing dictatorship bent on stripping citizens of their rights!
Not sure how that applies to this. I will have to do some deep thinking on this. Deep.

One of the dealers I was talking to said the last time they got the updates for the background check system with WSP that there is already software in their system to track the amount of ammunition a person buys - basically they already have the software built and setup in dealers systems to implement the law as soon as it was passed. 


And this was back in June......  The communist state of WA at its finest...

I've never considered leaving this state due to the diverse hunting and fishing opportunities we have. Not being able to buy ammo may be the last straw. I have found .22 Nosler in store twice ever and I bet they try to ban reloading supplies in the future. Even then, "hunters" in Washington will still vote for these hooved creatures in Olympia.
