:      Please describe the "hunting" uses of a Tec-9 or an Uzi.

Reminds me of the NRA staunch support for the "cop-killer" bullet...
oh well...

it's too bad the NRA has so much influence in Congress.  If this wasn't
the case, Moynihan's proposal of a tax on ammunition might have received
the attention it deserved.

I personally have no problem with a tax on ammo, smokes, or beer.
Of course I wouldn't pay for the first two, but I'd more than make
up for it with the 3rd!  :)
