What he would avoid paying is the 11% excise tax that is added to the cost of ammo for sale to civilians. When a PD buys ammo for duty use they do not pay that. My guess is that is what he was avoiding.
What is so hard to understand about misrepresentation for the purposes of tax evasion???

My answer to that is pretty simple.
Fuck the tax man, and fuck that 11% of pure faggotry.
Taxes on newspapers were outlawed as violations of the first amendment, poll taxes were also struck down, so I would argue that taxes on firearms/ammunition/accessories are also unconstitutional on that same basis.
