I've been preaching this for years to the choir(us)/not the grabbers, "they" are going to give up on banning guns and simply go after the ammo someday, and that "someday" seems to have arrived.
That will turn any gun into a club weapon, a wall hanger/art or a throw away.
There's already a Fed tax paid by the ammo mfg. that's rolled into the price of ammo that most are not aware off, because it's not added on at the register or stated anywhere on the box, like the signage at the gas pump states each tax included in the price.
Another Preach to...(hate to predict)
I can see an ammo tax going the way of the cigarette "sin" tax, a tax way more than the original cost of ammo and components to make them out of reach of the average shooter/reloader.
Remember that cig tax was justified as funds to treat smokers for the health problems associated with smoking...Yeh right like that ever happened
I hope neither of these things happen in my life time
We will turn to pneumatic/spring "guns" until "they" reel in pellets and BBs into the ammo ban, and then what, slingshots
.
edit: I hate preaching to the choir and reading threads like this, it's
