Bullet Tax !

[m1a_scoutguy]

Up in arms over proposed ammunition tax

North country gun owners could start paying a few more bucks for a bullet. Lawmakers and gun experts say a new bill in the state Senate is a direct attack on the Second Amendment.

I just saw this and figured I would share,I looked but didn't see it yet. Hope this is the correct spot.

Under the bill, projectiles that measure .22 caliber or less will be taxed at a rate of 2 cents per round. Any other ammunition would be 5 cents.

So… according to this
.223- .556 -22-250- .224 Valkyrie and the likes will fall under the 2 cent tax?

Every day the shitweasels in Albany, including all the faux "Republicans" (AKA UniParty quislings), give me another reason to despise this state even more.

Some times you think - "No, this is so moronically retarded and vile, that "they" couldn't remotely conceive of anything more absurd."

And "they" always do.

I guess NYS has really imaginative, moronically retarded and vile shitweasels.

Gangbangers will be writing checks and sending them in.

Need more revenue! Then spend it.

Yea that's what I was thinking! We know there dumb fucks but are they that stupid ?? I guess we shouldn't bring it to their attention!

22 caliber is .22", so 22 caliber, or less is .21999999999999"
.224" is greater than .22, so.... $.05 tax for you.
I will bet money that's how it's figured.

I'm assuming this only means fully assembled production manufactured cartridges and not the bullets themselves?

I hate when people call ammo "bullets". It's like when people call magazines "clips"....

I do my own reloading, so if it's just production cartridges, I don't care. I got dies for everything I own.

"North country gun owners could start paying a few more bucks for a bullet."

Ummmm, no. Two to five cents more per bullet, per the story. Does anyone proofread anymore?
