We have had many discussions here on Guns.
We haven't resolved anything.
I can only state my preferences. And they might not be popular.
I am a gun owner.
Prohibitions don't work, regulation does.
I have never owned, nor would in the future own an "assault" type rifle.
Or any weapon chambered in 5.56 NATO.
They are just not that useful, except for active combat.
Stonekettle has some words.

I say tax ammo at fifty bucks a shell, with an exception for hunters, who get a dozen tax-free bullets upon producing a valid hunting license.
Save the brass on those to turn back in if you don't want to get taxed on 'em.
Hmmmm.

98% of the ammo I buy is for range shooting. It already is very expensive. For my long rille it runs $8.00 a pop. for match rounds.
I would not mind a tax, if I could get a rebate on range use.
@corlin
Yeah, you get taxed on anything you want to take off the range.
Also, ban ownership of semi-automatic weapons outside of law enforcement and the military. Fifteen years for possession.
