what about re-runs?
Should NOT be based on per-shot.
How about using a metric like per-shot-viewers, meaning if you produce a show where 10 rounds get expended, and your ratings viewership is 5 million, that is 5*10, or 50 million violations times the fine-per-violation to determine total fine.
Tax “action hero” George Clooney till he sqeals like a girl or Matt Damon not that there is much difference.
and games.
Add one or two, maybe three zeroes to each category.
What about guns displayed in video games? $1 per discharge will rack up some serious bills....
Awesome. A-team re-runs alone would pay off the entire national debt in a month.
Of course, more television murders would be by knives, clubs, and poisons. Even Hollywood is smart enough to evade a tax.

I'm open to that. I suppose the same method used to calculate an actor's residuals could be adapted seamlessly to this.

Works for me, but mine's simpler...
*forehead slap* and games...
Decades ago, cowboy movies didn't show blood and guts all over the place. They didn't even show bullet holes. Back then, kids could bring their guns to school for show and tell.
Same thing with sex. There was outrage when Lucy and Ricky were shown in the bedroom together - even though they had separate beds. They didn't have 11 years olds wanting abortions, teen mothers as the norm, adultery leading to divorces on a record scale, nor the rapes and child molestations we see today.
Homosexuality was a mental condition, and the homos were kept in mental institutions. They didn't have the boy rapes, homo mass murders, the child eating, or the deadly disease we have today, either.
All these things were in the theaters before they started to show up in real life. The nation was and is being flooded with this crap 24/7 - and it gets worse by the day.
Has anyone noticed there have been reports of people attacking and eating others like Zombies? Three is the U.S. so far (that I've heard of). Some blame "Bath Salts", yet the "zombies" had no "Bath Salts" in their systems. Where did this come from? Where have we seen 24/7 Zomies lately?
Not at first...
I think we shouldn’t name our kids Cult, sell Champagne by the magnum or listen to 38 Special. From this point forward, the joke, “She came at me with 2 44’s and a gun” will never be told again.
The character on M*A*S*H, Charles Emerson Winchester will now be known as Charles Emerson.
Any others?

You mean just like real life?
