Bullet TAX

[gedelea]

Well I hope that with this bill the hunters now realize that this effort also effects hunters (didn't MOM say that he was supportive of hunters?). Time for Bass Pro and other outdoorsman shops to put their weight behind things!

The next rally should be a "Shutdown the Town" rally, with hunters, industry, and patriots all protesting this nonsense. Pack 10-15000 people into Annapolis and lets seem them try to say hundreds of 2A supporters protested again.

If passed, when all said and done the the dealer will leave, the shops will close and you will have to become a criminal to get a weapon.
Is everyone this blind? What is the root cause for all this legislation, don't tell it is to stop another mass shooting. I need to keep my job, so another trip to Annapolis is out for now. I feel that they want to disarm as many as possible, I am flashing back to 1939 when another Nazi leader did this.

I read it to be similar to the casino bills where the casino money (allegedly) goes towards efforts like gamblers anonymous.

Using the liberal logic, if they just banned the slot machines, people wouldn't use them. Therefore there would be no need to tax gambling to assist those addicted to gambling.

Anyone know what you need to do ,legal wise , to sell ammo ? I can get it but unsure about resale .

Open a business in Maryland http://www.dat.state.md.us/sdatweb/checklist.html

Pay your taxes (normal business taxes - excise (11%) is payed by the manufacture).

FYI - ATF does not deal with the excise on ammo - it is the TTB ( www.ttb.gov )

No funny storage requirements - so you can sell it out of your garage or car if you wish.

Where are you able to get ammo - or is it falling off a truck somewhere? I am sure there would be a huge response for a group buy.

We need to stay on top of this as well. Please tell me its not too late.

 

[shocka04]

Any updates on this bill? I've tried to google it but have only found that it was in the house on 3/8

 

[AssMan]

I hope this pos passes too. I buy some ammo online, and work in VA anyway. I know it will hurt the IP's here though.

 

[ruinah]

Haven't heard a word about it for weeks. I don't think I saw anything about in the SB281 draft.

 

[Blaster229]

Isn't this "your friend" Ben's proposal? The tax goes to nothing firearm related but to help disabled children of some sort?

 

[ShallNotInfringe]

Maybe it's just one of those little sleeper bills. There is still no report out.

This is one of those bills that just makes you say "how dare they" doesn't it?

On the plus side, if "crossover" means anything at all, this bill didn't make the date.

I do think we need to sleep with one eye open until next Monday though, when they want something thru, they can make it happen fast!

check many, many times a day! I've seen .223 listed and sold out in under 30 minutes. Less for some primers.

This site runs a spider that checks stock and price for ammo, mags, etc often during the day.

It will never end in MARYLAND. I bet our mayor is going to say this is not a tax

 

[RedViperinMD]

Maryland legislators never seem to get that when they raise taxes like this, the state losses money.

Actually that is a common misconception about a State like MD. Those "revenue" shortfalls are simply made up for by further taxing the poor fools that actually pay taxes in MD. The state never loses out on money, NEVER. This is why economic arguments with those in Annapolis are a foolish waste of time (in my opinion of course).

VA is 12 miles from my door.....

I feel sorry for you. You're like a man dying of thirst with a glass of water just out of reach
