[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is the objective of a tax on ammunition?

All it would do is reduce the number of law abiding people going to the range to practice shooting or sportsman clearing nuisance deer.

Mass shooters and gang bangers don't care one bit. Ammunition is key to their thing. All you do is hurt the law abiding marginal buyers.

That all said, a punitive tax on ammunition would be rightly deemed unconstitutional.[/quote]

This is actually right. Ammo is not the problem. It's the guns themselves. This is not a problem that can be solved with taxes or insurance. I doubt liability laws would even work. We need sensible regulations that make people jump through a reasonable number of hurdles to get a gun license. There should be limits on the number of guns people can buy. Private sales should be severely restricted. [/quote]

Kindly provide a list of “hurdles” you consider reasonable.

Please list what you think would constitute “sensible” regulations.

Please explain how a limit on the number of guns people can buy would operate, and how that would impact the criminal misuse of firearms.

Please specify what “severe” restrictions you advocate on private sale of firearms.

Because all you’ve proposed so far are a bunch of empty generalities. [/quote]
