Democrats Now in a Rush to Tax Ammunition: “If anything, gun owners ought
to be getting a tax rebate for helping reduce crime”
by Jammie
Now that outright confiscation efforts have been met with the appropriate
ridicule and resistance, greedy Democrats are moving on to — what else? —
punitive taxation as a mean of infringing upon Second Amendment rights.
So where they can’t get away with their assault on the law-abiding gun
owners of America they’ll try and reap profit instead to fund more of their
wacky schemes.
If you can’t ban ‘em, tax ‘em.
Lawmakers looking to more tightly regulate firearms in the wake of the
Newtown school shooting and other massacres are moving at the state and
federal levels to introduce new taxes on firearms and ammunition.
The proposals range from the modest — a proposed 5 percent tax in New
Jersey — to the steep — a proposed 50 percent ammo tax in Maryland. The
bills follow efforts to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and
expand background checks, measures that have had mixed success at the state
level.
The taxes — much like so-called “sin taxes,” like those on cigarettes
— serve a dual purpose. They can deter buyers, while using the extra
revenue for favored programs. In this case, the sponsors want to direct the
money toward mental health services, police training and victims’ treatment.
You can be assured not a nickel of this “revenue” will ever go where they
claim it will.
But firearms groups say a “sin tax” on firearms wrongly punishes law-
abiding gun owners.
“If anything, gun owners ought to be getting a tax rebate for helping
reduce crime,” said Lawrence Keane, senior vice president and general
counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
He said the purpose of the taxes is to “frustrate and limit the
exercise of the Second Amendment.” While noting some of the revenue from
these taxes and fees would go to victims’ services, Keane said those paying
the tax are mostly not those responsible for gun crime.
“We’re obviously extremely opposed to try to tax the lawful exercise
of the Second Amendment rights by law-abiding Americans,” he told FoxNews.

Black market ammunition suppliers must be thrilled.
