Not sure if I should fold or crumple this as I wipe.

The real end-game of allowing states to enforce sales tax on mail-order vendors?

Even without that, given how it is "sales and use tax", they'll just go after the out-of-state sourcing with tax evasion charges.

I almost want to see this pass, just to get the question in front of SCOTUS as a potential precedent setter for a future challenge to the NFA and Hughes -- at what point does a targeted tax with the clear intent to suppress the exercise of a right become unconstitutional?

you know it will eventually spill over to components at some time.

This is sure to take a huge bite out of violent crime! I imagine the number of gang related shootings will start to drop immediately.

...and casting, and hoarding powder and primers ;-)

Some people have been known to hoard powder and primers for no particular reason at all...

I'm sure all those bangers in Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven will just give up and become upstanding citizens. All because ammo costs 75 cents a round instead of 50 cents.

I estimate a 50% drop in crime.

There was a time when a government was sent packing for taxation. Maybe their ship is ready to sail.

I said this in the post Newtown craziness.

If you have any curiosity to do so, start reloading.

My access to ammunition was completely uninterrupted during the panic buying after Newtown.

I had multiple years worth of primers and powder on hand. (One 8 lb jug of powder is enough for roughly 12,000 rounds of 9mm)
I had buckets of range pickup brass, and bullets were never in short supply.

Reload yourself and save the worry about this kind of crap.

This is the main reason I reload. I can guarantee myself an uninterrupted ammunition supply regardless of political upheaval or supply chain issues.
