Here's a news story about a Democrat state senator from California who plans to introduce legislation to impose a 5 cent tax on every bullet sold in the state. He wants the money to help fund trama centers. It seems he failed to think this proposal through.
1. 5 cents per bullet would mean an additional dollar on every box of 20 rounds. A person bent on crime can do a lot of damage with 20 rounds.
2. I guess this guy never heard of reloaders. A lot of shooters reload their bullets.
3. I guess he never heard of smuggling, either. Those weapons you see in the movies where everyone and his dog pulls out fully automatic Uzis or Mac 10s aren't exactly off the shelf items. You can't just go to your local gun shop and buy fully automatic weapons. If the gangs are using them, they're smuggling them into the country. If they're smuggling guns, what's to stop them from smuggling ammo? After all, criminals by definition don't obey the law.
