Proposed excise tax on ammunition and firearms…again!!

[Fidelk]

No, I didn't vote on it. I thought it was proposed. I'll vote against it, if I ever have the chance to do so. That OK?

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

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.

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.

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'd be interested in your rebuttal, but you don't offer one.  I lived through it, so am pretty up to speed.  Maybe your friend is still learning the ropes.

That is not how our gun laws work. We vote for politicians who make these laws. The politicians then vote to pass these laws. So do the politicians you voted for support this law? Did they vote to pass previous gun laws?

Very true.  Politicians and their appointments.  Not referendum.

On a trip to Missoula, I bought a Remington 700 Long Range.......at a Sportsman's Warehouse. I was at an event and SW gave attendees a $30 off coupon. Between that and no sales tax, I purchased the rifle for approx. $100 less than I would have paid in WA State at a different SW. For those who just might travel to no sales tax states like Montana or Oregon.......that would be the place to load up on ammo and avoid any 11% excise tax and even that 8-9% WA State sales tax.

You should pick up a couple 80% AR lowers and 30-rd mags while you are taking the 16 hour round trip to Missoula....oh wait Democrats made that illegal...

I didnt think it was “legal” for us Washington residents to purchase firearms out of state anymore ?

I could be wrong. But I think it was a ffl in Idaho who said he could not sell to WA residents because they had to go through a background check thru WSP now. And FFLs outside WA did not have access to WSP system.

It was a while back......no idea what today's rules are. But that was for a gun sale.....not ammo.

Have you ever considered posting your political drivel in the Politics Forum as opposed to infecting other threads/forums??

[Kola16]

Are you upset cause I said Democrat? The OP's article literally called out Democrats. Many others have called out the Democrats in this thread due to their direct responsibility. But good response for not adding anything of substance and being the meme Call out something I said that was incorrect. That would be substantive.
