Because someone intent on mass murder is always concerned with their bank account.

Hmm, I like the line about ammo "degrading unless stored in proper conditions and humidors that criminals don't often have"...So some criminals do have humidors for their ammo?
Should I consider a humidor for my nearly 1,000 rounds of assorted ammo? Military ammo cans aren't good enough?
I wonder if this CT law would apply only to loaded ammo? They say "bullets" but I bet they mean loaded ammo......

Politicians are so stupid.

No, I'm not really sure what they meant by this, I think this is a typo or they just don't know what they are talking about. I can't see how adding moisture to your ammo stores would be a good idea. If anything you want to dehumidify ammo. I think that those ammo cans are good enough. I think there are certain temperatures that are best, but just don't store them in a place that will get to hot or to cold, and it will stay dry and I think you will be good for a long time.
The sad part is that these are elected officials, and they think it would somehow be a good thing to make ammunition less affordable for law abiding citizens. This is what folks in office are coming up with, come on.

From the article in the OP:
The idea of a bullet tax isn't totally original. In 1993, U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York proposed a 10,000 percent tax on one especially lethal type of bullet.
Really...a 10,000 percent tax. :laugh:
