Yeah, that will work just as all the current laws work.
"USA Today[LEFT] - The ex-convict who lured firefighters to his burning home in Webster, N.Y., and then shot and killed them had an arsenal of weapons, Police Chief Gerald Pickering said Tuesday.
William Spengler, 62, "was equipped to go to war," Pickering said. » Killer of firemen illegally armed with Bushmaster rifle » News -- GOPUSA
I thought it was ILLEGAL for felons to have weapons!

Hey anti gunners, banning internet sales means many people couldn't get rare ammo for their antique firearms, the kind that are so obsolete that they would never fall into the catagory of a modern criminals choice.
I thought you supported the rights of law abiding gun owners?
And not so antique firearms. The only way I can buy non-toxic shotshells (required for waterfowl hunting) that I want to use here, in the heart of waterfowl hunting by the Chesapeake, is to mail order them from Mack's or Bass Pro.

Gun laws aren't about keeping us safe. They're about control. If it pi$$es off a gun owner liberals like it.
How are you going to keep people like me who load thier own ammo,from bypassing the tax?
Just like the people who roll thier own cigarettes to avoid the tax?
Sen. Bye and Rep. Godfrey‘s proposals, which will be packaged as one bill, will seek to:
Prohibit the sale and possession of any rifle, shotgun or pistol magazine with a capacity of more than 10 rounds;
Expand the definition of an ‘assault weapon’ under current Connecticut state law to apply to firearms which exhibit just one particular physical trait, as opposed to two (i.e., the presence of a pistol grip beneath the action of the weapon);
Require the registration with state law enforcement officials, and the biennial registration renewal, of all firearms by model and serial number;
Institute a 50-percent sales tax on the sale of ammunition and firearms magazines;
Require a permit to purchase ammunition;
Prohibit the online purchase of ammunition;
Prohibit the purchase of ammunition in Connecticut by anyone who is not legally authorized to possess a firearm in Connecticut;
Prohibit the storage of firearms and ammunition in a manner that allows access by persons under age 18.
-----------------------------
I wonder how many pistols have a "pistol grip" under the action of the weapon?
I chalk this nonsense up to free speech. It won't pass constitutional muster.
In other news, look for my new drive-thru ammo stores opening soon in Rhode Island and New York.
NOW that will fix the problem---having a 50% sales tax. I am okay with the other items, but dirtying up this bill with an attempt to limit assault weapons by a 50% sales tax on ammo does nothing but more revenue for gov't spending on pork items
A 50% ammo tax would be great for the indian reservations which aren't required to charge federal taxes. They'll setup ammo shops right next to the smoke shops, charge far less than off the res and rake in the money and people won't end up paying any more for their ammunition.
Do the idiot liberals really think that these crazy killers care about how much their ammunition costs?? Clearly liberalism is a mental disorder.

How many gun owners cried foul when tobacco was unfairly taxed and was prohibited from being sold on the internet, paid for with a credit card, or transported by Fed Ex, UPS or the USPS? Hmmmm?
"And then they came for me......"
LMAO
