Attorney Generals Ask Biden to Ban Lake City from Selling Ammo to Civilians

I didn't waste time reading the comments..........

Other headlines on this page:

NY Times Targets Lake City for Making Ammo Used in Mass Shootings

Bill to Ban Gun CAD Files Nears Vote In The Senate

You'll see more. The main topic, however, and obviously related to the NYT article, is the concerted effort by the anti-gunners to interfere with the flow of ammunition to Americans.

I wonder if banning CAD files will pass a 1st amendment test.

And then you have "the privilege of using ammo"

Washington state Democrats propose additional tax for 'privilege of using ammunition'

Taxing any part of a right guaranteed by the Second Amendment is not going to pass court challenges. It's no different than taxing lead newsprint and ink that periodicals used to use or whatever device they use now to print newspapers and magazines. You can tax the sale of anything, of course, but not the exercise of a right (forget privilege - that's a fiction in and of itself!).

Since I expect the stuff that gets sold to civilians doesn't meet mil-spec in some minor form, the "ban" would effectively further increase the national debt. Maybe the money goes to whoever has the contract to operate the LC Army Ammunition Plant. This would improve their profit margin, allowing them to lower their bid to operate the plant and again save the taxpayers money.

I think it was the late Everret Dirkson who sarcastically quipped: "A billion, here and a billion there and pretty soon you're talking about real money."

I wonder if they understand that the military is limited to FMJ ammo. Thereby making it less lethal than commercial SP or HP ammo?
Nah, they ain't that smart.

Tell that to California which just imposed an 11% tax on firearms and ammunition.

they actually tried that, and SCOTUS said no. Minneapolis Star Tribune vs Minnesota. they tried a special tax on printers ink for newspapers.

What about the federal excise tax on firearms that has been in existence since the early 1900's?

well, if this gets to SCOTUS, that manufacturing tax might go away as an unintended consequence.

I may be off base here, but I don't see the threat of "raising the national debt" as a deterrent to these folks. It seems to be what fuels them.

 

[WR Moore]

That was kinda my point.

The democrats are competing with each other to see who can pass the most restrictive laws.
Pritzker was bragging the other day how you can no longer purchase an "assault rifle" or hi cap magazine in the state of Illinois.
Man, the grin on his face would have made you sick.

Times have changed. People in "free" states need to take heed. We need to vote like they do.

"The right to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed ..."
Thank Goodness that's in there ...
but what about the right to keep and bear ... Ammo !
Outlaw and ban the possesion ammo ... and then they don't have to worry about us having the arms !

I see what they are doing ...
You got to watch that sneaky bunch every second !

I love how AZ has signed onto that. First our Senator co-authors a Federal Assault Weapons ban, and now this.

It wasn't but a few short years ago AZ was number 1 for gun owners in the Nation per Guns & Ammo Magazines annual ranking.

But people love to vote their freedoms away for a false sense of security.

Doesn't CA already have most of these laws already on the books? Yet crime is running rampant there.

How is the tax on firearms/ammo any different than the poll tax?

Both have the same basis, the infringement of a right.

One is politically correct the other is not.
