Seems they want to tax guns and ammunition to fund gun buy backs. I am shocked and surprised!  ::)

funny how they spend so much time, energy and money on something that is involved in so few deaths. Why not put all that time, energy and money into funding cancer research.

In Sacramento, a bill by Democratic Assemblyman
would impose a nickel tax on every bullet sold in California to pay for screening and treating young children for mental illness.


Now I'm all about taking care of young children , but......now they are gonna tax bullets to treat them for mental illness.  They are having a field day here.  Barry said taxing was an option.....ain't it always ???

I would favour the mental illness treatment for the politicians.
