If you haven't already familiarize yourself with the National Firearms Safety Act H.R. 5717 introduced a year ago in the US House of Representatives. It didn't go anywhere in 2020 but could return this year with a much greater chance of being passed into law. If passed as written it includes a 50% excise tax on ammunition and components. If passed it will certainly cut that potential loss from the high prices people are paying today. That bill also includes a 30% excise tax on firearms.

It actually contains many things most of us would not like or agree to. Such as all sales have to go through a dealer. Minimum age to buy a gun is 21. A license is required to own and purchase including ammo. Safe storage requirements for guns. No shotgun can have more than 5 round capacity. A ban on suppressors and mufflers. Assault weapon ban as defined. That is just a few of the things I remember, it's very long and contains a lot of restrictions and requirements. It's all here if you care to read it. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-...bill/5717/text

And some wonder why there is "hoarding" of all ammunition and components? Just look at today's circumstances.
Chances are we'll all be closet felons in just a few months... |

It is never about safety. If it was about safety, it would actually make sense.
It is about trying to reduce the number of guns in peoples possession. Period.
