This proposed bill would double taxes on gun sales from 11% and increase ammo taxes from 11% to 50%!

Considering that it has little chance of passing, I wouldn't have posted this, BUT... it MAY also be a back handed attempt at keeping the ammo shortage going until it's finally defeated. That's what angers me. I can only think of a few reasons someone would introduce legislation like this when you know it's more than likely going to be defeated, and keeping ammo supply short seems to be one possible motivation.
Thoughts?
