I was at the range today shootin' the bull (I can't shoot a gun anymore with the crowds lined up) and in walks a young man out of breath desperately looking for some .40 S&W ammo for his pistol. "Do you have any .40 S&W ammo? I have to stock up before they pass that ammo tax in the next stimulus bill."
Well, I'm wondering what ammo tax he is talking about. I try to stay reasonably well informed but maybe I am missing something. I know there has been talk of taxing ammo, but I surely haven't heard of anything concrete yet. My guess is that either the gun shop where he purchased his gun or someone where he works is spreading the fear. I think this is at the center of the ammo shortage - a lot of misinformation. I was going to buy a little more Federal .22 bulk ammo to feed my Rugers but even that is dried up. I guess I'll just set back and watch the festivities until things calm down.
