not owning a gun doesn’t make you a law abiding citizen either. your standing grounds are shattering.

Could one of you ammosexuals please explain to me how this is a violation of 2nd amendment rights but the fact that books are taxed isn't a violation of 1st amendment rights?

i dont own one yet but hopefully will soon. im just now starting to educate myself on the laws and purchasing in the state, but as far as i know ammunition is already taxed to hell. use these taxes that are already being paid for these programs maybe? punishing law abiding responsible gun owners to fund the programs that are put up in response to the irresponsible unlawful owners of guns doesn’t seem to make too much sense to me lol.

>Wow that's a lot of cars!
Depends. That dealership does stock higher value used cars, so that could have been 12-15 depending.

Who killed those bristol cops? Hint, he was a gun owner. Turned criminal.
Make the connection.

Those dastardly criminals… throwing bullets at children to death…
You are fucking ridiculous. Being a gun owner doesn’t make you a responsible or law abiding person. It just means you have a tool designed to kill. Someone with a gun is just as likely to be a criminal as any other section of the population, but the gun enables them to do far more damage whether it be via malice or negligence.

Sacrificing the right to guns, to gain the right to safety is a small price to pay.

This is a secondary tax. We do pay tax on ammunition. And gun owners aren't the ones killing people. Criminals are. Gun owners and criminals aren't the same. Hence the article. I think we are all sick of being lobbed together.

Why should the societal cost of gun ownership fall on the shoulders of the general tax payer?
We have gasoline taxes so people who operate a vehicle can fund the roads they drive on.
Why shouldn’t gun owners pay taxes on their ammunition to help fund government operations to protect people from gun owners?

3c a round is going to hurt some good places.
Local scout camp thats an additional 3 bucks or so every round on the firing range. A 22LR is about 7c a round now so this is nearly a 50% tax for the people trying to teach responsible gun safety and use.

I’m tired of the general population having to spend all this extra money because an extreme minority can’t responsibly own, store or operate their weaponry. If society has to bend over and accept more danger to accommodate gun owners then let it be gun owners who bear the costs.

My co-worker is currently renting there. They have not had hot water consistently for 6 days now. It will be hot in the morning and off by the afternoon. His roommate is currently moving out and now he has to move out because he can't afford to stay there.
