This is in addition to Dickinson’s AB 760, which would impose a five cent tax on every round of ammunition sold in California. Ironically, the tax would be more expensive than the actual bullets. If Dickinson’s bill passes, the cost of bullets in California will go through the roof.So sales will go through the roof in California until the tax goes into effect, then sales in Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon will peak along the border. California will have to spend what little revenue they gain on measures to stop smugglers who bring ammo in to sell on the black market. So they'll raise the tax rate again...and their local vendors suffer, shed employees, and go out of business.
Don't these idiots have anything better to do than fuck up their economy any worse than it already is?

Not only do they have no idea of economics, they have no idea of how black markets are created.
Cretins!
(my apologies to actual cretins, I had not intended to insult them by comparing them to politicians.
I will just go to Nevada once in a while and restock. My minivan will be riding low coming home to Kommiefornia. They won't get the new inflated sales tax, nor the old and regular sales tax. Instead they will get zip! Nada! Zilch!
However, it's not a black market if it is for my personal use. It is no different than if I bought cigarettes out of state and smoked them in California. This will create a black market though.
They also make these estimates based on no change in behavior. I bet not only do they not make 90 million, I bet they lose ground tax wise over all.
Yeah but think of the business opportunities the new tax encourages.
