Welcome to our forum.
I can't believe this but I bought my son a shot gun today ...He is a target shooter..skeet shooter..not a hunter, but no matter. (Must have been the influence of Term on here). I overheard the owner of the shop on the phone saying that there is going to be a huge tax imposed on ammo...from our new administration..?? I didn't ask any questions because I was eavesdropping..but maybe that's how we will recover our tax dollars...Everybody has to invest in ammunition
My son worked at an outdoors store before heading off to college. He still keeps in touch with his ex-coworkers and from what they understand it will be a 'piece of cake' to buy a gun. However, like Bonni said, the price of ammo will be outrageous, whether from taxes or just a way to control people from killing people. :-/
I don't see the stimulus helping where it is needed the most, jobs.
I think the ammo tax will definitely have an impact on the murder rates..Now when the criminals steal your guns, they will have nothing to load it with since you can't afford to buy the ammo..Brilliant. But wouldn't that be a trickle down effect I agree with you Chas, if we think we can save the whole darn country after years of poor business decisions have destroyed companies, we are stupid..(guess I should say they are stupid). Let the auto makers go...I say Ford can stay because they are the most viable. I am amazed that in so many cases workers are just told, no raises, less benefits, less pay, yet the unions aren't going to give one inch... 96SC''you have been on here long enough to know me ... if my kid shoots anything that breathes ..the gun will be part of the stimulus package for Ebay!! I know you were kidding He's looking into local sportsman clubs and he can shoot CLAY pigeons on the farm where he works. I guess now if anyone shoots at my country pigeons (I dearly love the mourning doves), I can shoot back...now where's that $6000.00 ammo?
He's 18, so I can only say so much to him. My sister and my Mom both shot guns for years but only at targets. My cousin was the U.S. women's skeet shooting champion in the '60's..she didn't hunt either.[glow]I just know if he decides to hunt, he better not tell me..that's all.. [/glow]
