California proposes bullet tax

[Ted Striker]

It costs trauma centers and average of $17,000 per patient to treat gunshot wounds. Alot of this tax is picked up by taxpayers.

There is now a proposal to put a tax on the sale of bullets.

I think it's an excellent idea.

[monkspider]

Certainly an interesting idea.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Cool, I'll buy ammo in Arizona and Nevada and resell it here.

WHEN BULLETS ARE OUTLAWED ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE BULLETS

THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TAKE OUR BULLETS

[Ted Striker]

Damn loopholer!!!

As Chris Rock says..if bullets were $5000 bucks a piece, no one would get shot.

There will be a huge stink about this though. Perhaps to lessen it, they could lessen the tax for business such as shooting ranges, in which people use the bullets only in the premises.

. . . which is exactly why states shouldnt have any rights. either everyone does it or no one does.

As Chris Rock says..if bullets were $5000 bucks a piece, no one would get shot.

Actually, Chris Rock said that if bullets cost $5000, people would still get shot but you would be damn sure that they deserved it. It's good to see his ideas being put into effect...

It's a great way to promote sales of reloading equipment and supplies. Good ol' California government. Incompetence R Us.

[Al B. Sure!]

I don't see anything wrong with this idea... i'm all for having guns for defence and in defence all you need is a few bullets. sounds alright to me.

Wyoming has different concerns than New Jerzey

For once Davis is doing something intelligent. This will decrease gun violence but it won't do much to decrease the state's massive budget deficit. Davis increase state spending at a rate of more then three and a half times the amount of increased tax recipts.

Think about it. The biggest boom in state history in turn meant the state of California enjoyed more more tax money then ever before in its history but Davis and the Democratically controlled state house created a deficit larger then most countries.

These bums need to be kicked out of office ASAP.

[Ted Striker]

Davis is an idiot completely devoid of any kind of leadership. A tactical genius when it comes to running a campaign but a fool at the helm.

Any time something goes wrong the first damn thing out of his mouth is basically, "I didn't do it."

Instead of buying new bullets, they will buy the stuff to reload used bullets at home.

ACK!
