Pun Times as Cassidy Proposes 2% Ammo Tax

February 29, 2012
By Patrick Boylan

Here is the news nut: Ill. Rep. Kelly Cassidy has proposed a two percent tax on the retail sale of ammunition. The proceeds of the tax, which Cassidy told The Bulldog she couldn’t estimate, would be used to fund a High Crime Trauma Center Grant Fund.

  • NRA Blasts Ammo Tax
  • Ammo Tax Debate Explodes in Springfield
  • Ammo Tax Called Pun-itive
  • Statehouse Committee Opens Fire on Ammo Tax
  • Santorum Spreads Message: Sin Tax Against Lawful Folk
