The Second Amendment protects our weapons. NOTHING stops them from taxing ammo out of reach.
Not quite true. As was noted in the recent DC decision, if the 2nd is indeed an individual right then it protects the practical, not theoretical, use of those weapons.
In the case of DC they found that the requirement of the weapon being unloaded and locked up in reality made the weapon unusable for protection, which they held to be part of the meaning of "keep and bear".
So, if the 2nd is held to be individual, ammo bans, whether overt or "punitively taxed based", will be unConstitutional as well, as they also make the protected weapon and right of use impossible.
There is some logic and consistency in the law.
