400k to 700k votes, it’s more than just a few.
Beutler was the only exception at 200k.

Another Unconstitutional gun law that will take years in court to overturn. Gotta be a way to recall any legislator who goes against their oath.

Can't see this being overturned by the Courts if passed. There is already an excise tax on ammunition.

So this proposed tax is going to raise $19m over 4 years from only 3,000 tax payers?  That’s about $6,300 per tax payer over 4 years.

If the authors of this bill are this dumb that they can’t even come up with a halfway accurate estimate of the cost it should immediately be dropped.

Maybe the Tribes could start selling guns and ammo tax free, like gas smokes and fireworks?

There is, but was enacted federally, by Congress.  And the proceeds earmarked for game/wildlife mgmt.

I suspect the 3k is in 1,000's....so 3 million. 

The mixing of nomenclature is "interesting".

Any body really think they’ll keep it at 11 percent. This is nothing more than a poll tax trying to suppress and discourage people from excercising the 2A.

At some point people are just gonna drive to a neighboring state, or get real creative in other ways to not pay this tax.

A retired person could be really busy.🤣
