Thank you for being there for us. This five cents per bullet tax would be pure thievery, which is what the BOE does best. What about the kids’ organizations that are teaching gun safety to our youth? Five cents more apiece for a .22 round would be ridiculous. Why don’t we fire half of those BOE do-nothings and put the savings into gunclasses for youth programs. Now that would be money well spent. Thank you for being there for us . I agree with every reason you stated for discarding this absurdity. In my opinion these people are just thieves in bureaucrats garb.

Now the liberals have changed their agenda, now it is to raise taxes, next it will be to register all gun owners. People and business owners are leaving by the tens of thousands, good work liberals, keep raising taxes and keep growing the welfare state and releasing thousands of felons early and three strikers and keep the border open, this will create a wonderful liberal paradise.
