President Obama commissioned a $10 million study to look at crime deterrents in January 2013, and what it says about gun control blows everything liberals and Democrats have ever said about guns out of the water, reports CNS News. “Self-defense can be an important crime deterrent,” concluded a study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)

They want to TAX you and punish you for owning legal firearms.

How is this any different than a poll tax? Its the government saying that if you want to exorcise your civil right you have to pay a tax.

Let make people pay big $$$ to receive a ballot and see how it turns out.

The tax should be on Democrats
for their slavery imposition
and on the criminal illegals.

Taxes to both the cities,
and the states, and the federal
gov’t would be a good start.

I had a “conversation” with a liberal on a NJ facebook page, yes I know

It was the person wanted longer waiting periods for guns

I said, well we already have 6 month waiting periods in this state, how about we make it 9 months?

Libtard: that would work, if it saves one kid’s life it would be all worth it

me: We could also make abortions 9 month waiting periods as well, just think of all the kids we could save.

libtard: head asplodes with 3 paragraph rant

Everyone else pretty joined in and said how right I was about 9 months for abortions and it would save a ton of kids. It was epic.

Libtards are fun, too bad they vote though. We should treat them like pets

Dear thugs . . . No!

My idea: Let’s impose a 300% tax on abortions, and use the money to fund adoption efforts. How do the corrupt thugs on the left like it when their twisted ideas are turned back on them?

love it!! These people can’t stand valid comparisons that don’t fit their narrative. They want that to be a hate crime or illegal per se. They are bigoted beyond your wildest comprehension.

This country cannot be governed. The side that gets momentum over-reaches, and nothing gets done.

If we could just figure out a way to tax stupidity and subsidize productivity, that would be just the opposite what’s happening now.

I want a 50% tax on EVERY DOLLAR sent out of this country...by whomever. Western Union can collect it & forward it to the US Treasury.

An outright ban on semi-automatic guns would be unconstitutional.
>

And WHOM determines the taxation rate that crossed the Rubicon of ‘infringement’?? The courts, case after case after where the legislature(s)\Fedzilla play ‘keep away’ by tweaking the rate/law every 6mo.??

Was not the $200 ‘stamp’, at the time, wholly out of the realm of most Citizens? A defacto BAN?

I’ll sign-on, but only if folks who own property can vote on the proposal...

I wouldn’t take that bet. If a thing can be taxed in perpetuity, it’s own OWNED (aka ‘property taxes’).
