I make my own bullets... |
Sounds like fun, can you teach me how? 
Besides, if bullets were suddenly taxed up to cost 1000$ each, then alot of people would just make their own, or get illegal ones. Its not like bullets are hard to conceal. |
Along with center-fire ammo, even blackpowder weapons need primers. So the libs tried to tax primers (to defeat what G-1 mentioned) at some outrageous rate. In response to that silliness, people began hording primers and ammunition - the legislation eventually fell apart. The people who you REALLY have to worry about will get guns and bullets the same way they get kilos of coke and heroin... illegally!
If the gun laws that are on the books NOW would be enforced, crime would likely be affected. But filling up the court system with grandfathers and their 1917 blackpowder shotguns is just ridiculous.
