Taxing Ammo In New York State?  Not Impossible...

New York City Democrat state legislators are reintroducing legislation to pass a tax on ammunition.  CBS6 in Albany, reports that Assemblywoman Pat Fahy said the tax will depend on the size of the bullet – anywhere from two to five cents a round.  Fahy says quote. “So, it’s not a huge tax, but another disincentive to arming up.”  State Senator George Borrello says three things about this.  

1 – He hopes it fails again and doesn’t get out of committee
2 – It’s a far left attempt to ban legal weapons in New York State. 

3 – It would only affect those that purchase ammo legally, not those that buy ammo on the streets.
