Bullet Tax

This is my gun-control thought for the day: a 5 cent tax on every bullet.  If we can't control guns, maybe we can control bullets - and raise a little revenue to boot.

US gun owners purchased an estimated 12 billion rounds of ammunition in 2009.  At 5 cents per bullet, that's 600 million dollars of revenue - if every state were to levy such a tax, which is, of course, unlikely.
