[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 615470, member: 9"] The whole idea, true or false, of an ammunition accountability tax is totally insane and ludicrous!! Consider this hypothetical scenario: A gun owner has 5,000 rounds of ammunition that is not encoded with a laser printed barcode (or whatever). The ammo has been accumulated over a period of months or years. The owner does not shoot at or kill anyone (or) engage in driveby target practice to draw attention to themselves. But, "someone" reports the gun owner to local authorities. NOW...consider the realism of the authorities "finding" this ammo, plus having the manpower and/or technology equipment at their office to "read" each and every shell... Give me a break! Or, do they just confiscate all of his/her ammo and put it in a large trash barrel and fine him/her for "unlawful possession of ammunition"... I think there are any number of States (including Texas) that would not pass such a law (unless mandated by the Feds under a threat of removing all Federal support to that State). The NRA is a powerful lobby. Any number of States in the USA believe in the 2nd Amendment as well as have enacted the "Castle Doctrine". On the other hand, I can see the legislation of SIGNIFICANT Federal Taxes on all ammo and firearms, given enough support in Congress (and the new President) and all. Thus, forcing low or middle income Americans from purchasing very much. On the other hand, there is such a thing as Criminals not worrying about all this, since it is simply a matter of breaking and entering and stealing whatever items they need. Let's keep our 2nd Amendment Rights and ability to purchase guns and ammo at reasonable prices: Let's "TAX" perfume, bottled water, having more (human) babies over 2, luxury boats, airplanes, jewelry, designer clothes, and all the other "unnecessary" things that don't improve the "true" quality of life and all... Enough said... ;-) [/QUOTE]
