    This is just the tip of the iceberg. If they pass this, it will be milliseconds before they put an "sin" tax on ammo to fund the extra work of having to an entirely automated background check. Then that tax will be constantly ratcheted up until only the wealthy can afford to purchase ammo from the 1 or 2 manufacturers that haven't gone out of business. Then it's a short jump to "Only the wealthy have guns anyways, we need to just get rid of them."

    I'd say they have no foresight, but this probably their plan anyways.
    If only the wealthy will have ammo at least I'll know where to go to get some.

    There are roughly 90 countries with stricter gun laws than the US, less gun ownership, less gun availability - and higher homicide rates.

    We don't have a gun problem in thin country.

    After that supreme court decision saying states could demand sales tax from companies with no presence in the state. What's worse is, PSA even charges me the extra 1% because I'm in Allegheny County. My order volume to PSA has plummeted because of it.
