New Government Initiative Would Circumvent Second Amendment By Targeting Ammunition Not Guns

With over 10 million guns sold in the United States in 2011, violent crime rising significantly as the economic crisis worsens, (crime rates in states with reduced firearms resteictions have actually gone down) and self defense killings sky rocketing, it's becoming increasingly unpopular for politicians to call for restrictions on firearms. If anything, even though government officials in states like Illinois and New Jersey are attempting to outlaw guns completely, the public outcry has been deafening, with each attempt met by protests and solidarity from individual rights and gun advocates all over the country.

It's clear that the majority of Americans support their inherent right to bear arms. But, even though the strategy of attacking our second Amendment is wholly unpopular and failing miserably, misguided government officials are beginning to explore ever more novel ways of circumventing the US Constitution and Second Amendment altogether.

Like New Jersey's recent attempt to ban ammunition, Illinois is now taking aim at ammo. This latest legislation would add a surtax to every box of ammunition sold, and if allowed, would set an alarming precedent that effectively threatens our ability to utilize a firearm for its intended purpose.

Reminds me of the sin tax on tobacco products, supporting the position of a minority, and infringing upon the liberties of others.
