Called the “Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act," the bill sponsored by William Pascrell, D-N.J., and Danny Davis, D-Ill., would nearly double the current 11 percent tax on handguns, while raising the levy on bullets and cartridges from 11 percent to 50 percent.


Luckily there is someone on our side:

What the anti-gun interests can’t ban, they want to tax it out of existence,” Alan Gottlieb, chairman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, told FoxNews.com. “It’s nothing more than confiscatory taxation.

Story looks to be from yesterday so it may have been posted.

Everyone knows that the way to slow gun use is to tax ammo to the point that people can't afford to buy it. I remember a few years ago a gunfight between gangs in Baton Rouge where more than a hundred rounds were fired in about fifteen minutes. That wouldn't happen at $15 dollars a shot. The low cost of ammo is the Achilles Heel of gun ownership and use.
