They will require a federal gun id card to buy ammo and to get the card you will have to declare your guns so the proper caliber will be allowed on your profile then the tax will roll in I hope you stocked up

I definitely think something like this takes place.

Remember how they added the "sin tax" to tobacco? You do that to ammo, and it serves several purposes-
1st, it makes ammo that much more expensive and a hassle to get.
2nd, and the sticking point: it adds to the tax revenue. The gov budget is going to be squeezed, and adding taxes is a surefire way to add revenue.

There is no limit to what a determined anti-gun administration might try. It won’t be cops knocking down doors and seizing guns. It’ll be incremental and designed to squeeze gun owners and punish sellers/manufacturers.

A sin tax on ammo.
Outlawing online sales of guns and ammo.
Stamp tax on certain existing guns.
Outlawing private sales.
Requiring ranges to validate stamps.
Requiring firearm disclosures on tax filings.
Opening gun manufacturers to civil liability when a gun is used in a crime.

It’s easy to say “I lost my guns in a boat accident” but I’m not comfortable being a felon and having to hide my guns. If I can’t get ammo or can’t go to the range then what’s the point?

And don’t think they’ll stop at ARs. Like someone else said, they’ll go after anything beyond a BB gun.
