Reply to comment by 404freedom14liberty in Taxing rounds to punish gun owners by Laurajw12

They didn’t propose arresting people for buying bullets. They proposed a modest tax on bullets. It’s hardly a scapegoat.

In fairness it’s a relentless chipping away of gun owner’s rights.

Why do you think that the second amendment exempts gun owners from tax liability?

I don’t think that. Sorry if I implied that.

The issue is it seems that citizens have the right to possess firearms. At the very least they are a tool for rural nutmeggers.

Ammunition is already taxed above sales tax. This tax is being applied to a distinct demographic. We can assume this tax is part of a social program to depress gun ownership. As a stated it’s a relentless taking.
