Proposed excise tax on ammunition and firearms…again!!

[Fidelk]

Buy your ammo in lots of 100 or 1000 and fear no more. Sheeesh.

[trophyhunt]

Cmon dems, where’s your pride?? Back up your vote!!  Funny how they disappear when they know they suck.

[hunter399]

Is it crazy ....I'm still using primers 30 dollars/1000.

If the democrats keep at it buying bulk ammo online will be illegal, we’ll be paying hirer prices(11percent to start with) and you’ll be required to pass a mandatory class to have a “permit” to purchase your firearms. Sheesh  all thanks to Liz berry a Seattle lib fighting destroy our 2A rights.

That's fine for established shooters and folks who can afford it. 

We are losing rights for new hooter and our descendants.

I'm surprised that you're ok with that.

If you don't think this is about rights then your ignorant or in denial.

It's not just proposed taxes. That's just a piece of the puzzle.. Making it harder and harder to be a legal "rule" following gun owner...
It's firearm bans, mag bans, transfer laws, training requirements, carry laws, possession laws, secure storage laws, mandates for FFL businesses, abused red flag law's, new tell on your neighbor laws like RCW 43.10.305.
If you read into existing or proposed laws parts are very ambiguous. So depending on who's enforcing them... there's lots of room for overreach interpretation.

All the little things add up.....

The only thing that is going to stop the erosion of our rights is if the US congress passes legislation that regulates how states can pass restrictions to our constitutional rights. If they keep leaving it up to the courts to review each little rights grab that the democrats come up with the democrats will eventually be successful with destroying the constitution.

CA already nixxed online ammo purchases (to your door).  Gotta ship to FFL and a background check on each purchase.  $1 and quick if you're in the system (purchased firearm in last 5 years), but not so much if you're not. Same check/costs if you just go to your LGS to buy a box.  Some friendly FFL's (not gun shops) will do the transfer for a small sum. 

The regular shooters have found ways to limit the pain, but still a pain.   The occasional shooters are more greatly affected.

One of the problems is that the issue is so important for fundraising and voter turnout.  If guns ( like abortion for the left) was settled people might move to different platforms.  I think they (politicians and certain lobbies) like to keep people right on the cusp of losing a right.  Think how much the NRA for example would lose each cycle if the battle was over.  Or politicians enjoying an A+ rating on guns would start losing to other wants.

The incoming Police chief of Seattle doesn't believe in the 2nd amendment.

I think you're correct.

I've long said politicians as a whole don't want to solve problems.  Than they'd have to come up with a new cause to champion.

Also why DJT was unpopular with both sides in DC.  He wanted to prioritize and fix things then move onto the next priority.

I have a friend that moved to N California. It does not work nearly as easily as you state.

This disproportionately affects the lower middle class gun owners whom might not have the cash to buy in bulk once online purchases are eliminated.

I'm NOT OK "with that".......don't speak for me. I'm against any and all of these stupid annoying accomplish nothing restrictive gun measures. But at the same time, I deal with what is sitting there in front of me. If I NEED ammo, I will pay what it costs to purchase it. But not really my situation as I probably will never need to buy another round. As for affording it, I had very little money when I was a 13 year old but I NEEDED some ammo for my single shot .22, so I usually bought .22 shorts.......22 longs and .22 long rifle were out of my reach.

You're not okay with it? Did you vote for it? 100 rounds won't even last half a duck season. Let alone anything else.
