Fuck them all

How does the tax revenue get from the dealer in the ski mask selling the guns out of his trunk to the state? Does he fill out a 1099? I’m just trying to make sure I understand the logistics. Will he get his CPA involved?

Can someone explain to me , (like I’m 4 years old), how taxing law abiding gun /ammo purchasers will help prevent gun violence? Do these fucking brainless mouth breathers even know what they are proposing? Un- fucking- believable

They know exactly what they are doing, stealing more tax money and trying to make it impossible to operate a gun shop in NY.

Ok,

It's all doublespeak.

That's not actually their intention.

They don't care about stopping violence.

It's about another obstacle to being able to buy, sell, own, use, and train with guns in NY to make it more difficult for regular citizens to exercise their rights.





By their logic, it's the same to equate making car and alcohol manufacturers pay a comparable tax to fund anti drunk driving programs.

It's the same thing to make condom purchases and Viagra purchases pay a tax to preventing rape fundings.

It's all insane. But this is what liberals do.

Headline should read "NY to make up for lost sales tax by charging people who still buy ammunition in NY another 11%."

Jokes on them. I haven't bought ammo in NY in almost a decade.

They aren’t saying it will. What they want to do is take the 11% use legal gun owners get them in stolen tax money and use it to fund their little pet projects. So essentially we will be funding our own demise as gun owners because we will be paying for them to come and confiscate our guns one day.

I haven't bought a single round of ammo in NY since the background checks began. If I need anything, I'll take a drive.

Democrats pushing for MORE Tax Money, say it isn't so?
That would mean millions of Dollars into the State General Fund from a Source that's already paying a Federal Excise Tax, Sales Tax and for Businesses selling products, Income tax paid...they want to extort Guns & Ammo the same way they fuck cigarette smokers, alcohol drinkers, dope smokers, only thing they haven't figured out how to tax is pussy, which is odd given how the State fucks everyone.

Same here. Texas got my tax money and a few other states.

 

[MothMan]

Reload, reload!! Have not bought ammo in NYS since TSUSA stopped delivering to my doorstep.

 

[Tisto]

Didn't the 9th District just strike this down in California ?

 

[Tisto]

I haven't bought a single thing relating to guns in NYS since the CCIA was signed. I won't buy anything, either. Fuck NYS. Pennsylvania and Ohio can have my tax money.

Sorry, local FFL's. Not your fault. If you happen to have components I need at a reasonable price, I will buy them from you, but I'm not buying anything this State keeps track of.

I feel horrible for FFL’s especially, and for legal gun owners overall, but when it comes to ANYTHING NYS, my attitude is to try to keep them from getting anything from me.

Sadly, I can’t 100% avoid their grubby clutches when I come back to visit but I minimize all I can. Definitely no ammo,- I bring whatever I may shoot with me. Fuel up before crossing back into New Yorkistan. Bring beverages from home here in SC as much as possible. About the only things I can’t totally avoid are meals and lodging. Almost forgot, - Thruway tolls on the paid off federal highway! Assholes!

 

[Nontypical]

They want to put every gun shop in NYS out of business.

I have purchased one box of .38 special, cuz I don't reload for it. Th gun shop owner said there is no law requiring him to do a background check for ammo. He even offered his facility for drop off if I wanted to purchase in bulk. This was last month.
That shop is his livelihood, I doubt he would risk losing it over something like that.

I live way to close to Vermont and NH to ever buy ammo in NY again and have them document WHAT I OWN. Fuck you very much NY. Sorry LGS , but it is what it is

We can generally figure ways around it, but why should We have to? If We could actually get control or at least better apply pressure to OUR Government shit like this wouldn't rear it's ugly head.

I keep hearing this but that will never happen. They may get reduced sales in the end that might make a few less FFLS, but there’s only a few in the Buffalo area now so I don’t expect them to dwindle too much. I have spoken to the gun shops and the guys on this forum are in the minority. I bought a pistol a while back and I was talking to the gun shop owner and he said at first the ammo sales were down but they are back to where they were before the CCIA. This place built a new entire shop.
Also, keep in mind any pistol needs to take possession in NYS so they will have many sales there and many transfers.

 

[SonOfSun]

I'm sure all of the criminals selling stolen weapons/ammo will definitely report it to NYS so they can tax them. As always the people causing the problems never pay, normal good people do.

We need to just get rid of the 2% club (2% of people cause 80% of our problems). They're quite literally worthless. All they do is cause problems and suck public money like a giant hole (prison, policing costs, court costs, etc.). Oh, you've stolen cars 3 times - directly to the mid-atlantic you go.
