Lawmakers(?) look at "Sin Tax" on guns and ammo

[RugersGR8]

There is gun control by legislation(laws/codes/regulations/etc.) and then there is gun control by legislation(taxation/fees/etc.) Either way, the gun grabbers will screw us over and take away our 2nd Amendment Rights.

..."But firearms groups say a "sin tax" on firearms wrongly punishes law-abiding gun owners.

"If anything, gun owners ought to be getting a tax rebate for helping reduce crime," said Lawrence Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation."...

..."Which is all very interesting, because I’m pretty sure that the legitimate and law-abiding citizens who would largely be paying these taxes, are not the ones responsible for gun violence. Why is it, exactly, that the responsible people who take it upon themselves to bear arms — creating positive externalities in the effort — need to be deterred or punished?"...

This crap ain't ever going to end as long as these fools are able to rule over us. Something has to be done to put an end to this.

Thats the way it is in Italy. I had to go there for training once, and was going to be next door to the Perazzi Shotgun Factory. Figured I could buy one over there cheaper than here. Wrong!
Its twice the cost of the same gun sold in the US. High taxes on guns and ammo keep them from the hands of the "common folk"

I hear the government wants to also add a health & wellness tax unto the price of a Big Gulp & Chinese buffets.

Gunowners are extra-bad "sinners" for owning evil black sinful guns and deserve to be taxed for our bad deeds. This is getting really rediculous.

They'er flicking boogers at the wall to see what sticks. You know they're getting desperate when they come up with this kind of nonsense.

the "sin tax" for firearms is as legal as an "indulgence tax" for books.
