California is trying to make it too expensive to own a gun. The power to tax is the power to destroy. If passed I will travel to Oregon, Nevada or Arizona and load up.

Another attempt to blame and punish lawful citizens for want criminals do.

If passed you should go to Sacramento to unload. (-;

That means the tax on a bulk box of .22 ammo would be $27.50

He said bullets. Didn't mention cartridges.

We knew they would try to do this.
The elites think only they should have guns.
Price the common man out, heck they are doing it now, why does one suppose DHS has 2 billion rds of ammo on order?
It is to reduce supply for us and jack up the prices.
Sadly reloading is not a decent option, that supply line is strained as well.
I recall that one of Obamas first devious deeds was to pass law that shredded and scrapped all once fired military brass.
To what end?
We know the answer.
That law was rescinded when we took the house in 2010, but Obama keeps chipping away.
In his latest SOTU he directed the ERA to look into the environmental impact of bullets.
He doesn’t even want us to be able to cast our own musket balls.
Well FUBO!!! Barry.
I believe that the man in the single wide trailor has as much of a right to a firearm as the fellow that lives in the mansion on the hill, and the constitution guarantees it!!!

"Go home and make your own bullets. Its cheaper," said Ken Moyer.Not if they levy a 1000% tax on powder, primers, bullets, and brass - and don't imagine that isn't something they wouldn't do.
I foresee a huge black market developing in ammunition. BLOAT! (if you can find any)

I propose a “sanity test” for all California political candidates and for those in office.
That should empty their legislatures,city councils, and boards, while filling up the insane asylums.

"'People will just reload their own,' explained Julia Draper."
Then they would tax every bullet (as differentiated from cartridge), or every brass case. Many Democrats also invested in firearms and supplies before chasing the herds toward them in the campaign against American peasants owning firearms. Reloading supplies are pretty much long gone, BTW--sold out weeks ago.

The Californicators would tax your flatulence if they could figure out a way to do it.
