Be it resolved that the purchase of ammunition shall be consider a luxury and subject to the highest possible state and federal taxes.
Why is this important?
Ammunition is a luxury that the nation can no longer afford. People are buying 5000 rounds of ammunition in one internet transaction. We tax sodas, cigarettes, liguor and eliminate transfats from our diets because of the harm these products do. None of them come near the harm caused by bullets. Ammunition should be taxed as a luxury item. There is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting the taxing of ammunition at punative levels. These taxes would help reduce the deficit in a time when both the federal and the state governments need help.
