Maybe we should have a tax on birth control to fund planned parenthood. I mean after all, isn’t it the same class of people that have abortions that also buy contraceptives to prevent prevent pregnancies?

Comrade Clinton once said that "We cannot let a minority of people, and that's what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,"

Think about that - she wants to stop people from even having certain opinions...

Hillary Clinton says gun control opponents "terrorize"Americans http://ti.me/UJubxp via @TIMEPolitics

I would like to propose a 100% reward/award paid to the buyer of a gun since that helps to make a neighborhood safer & makes less work for the cops.

Then tax the bad neighborhoods where no citizen will EVER testify about crimes that happen in broad daylight in front of lots of people. That only makes the cops job much harder.

Wait it is gonna expand the Black market.

Look at New York's falling revenue due to outrageous tobacco taxes. Smugglers are making money. Of course, Federal law would eliminate that. Right ... If the libs can't ban something, they just try to tax it out of existence. More revenue, hire more lackeys ...

“Constitutionally, guns should not be subject to ANY sales taxes at any level of government.”

I agree! Someone should test it in the courts, see if sales tax on guns is constitutional.

If voting can’t be taxed, then guns shouldn’t be either!

Fittingly, Hillary is taking a page from the Al Capone playbook. Remember, it was a tax evasion charge that got him imprisoned.

The purpose of a tax on firearm sales is not to generate revenue or make guns more expensive, it’s to require that paperwork be generated. Selling a gun would require reporting all the details - buyer and seller IDs, serial number. It’s a backdoor way to get to universal background checks.

Sell a gun without remitting the tax and associated paperwork through your income tax return and you’re in violation of the law. From there it wouldn’t be too hard to get violators declared ineligible to own a firearm. Heck, with a Dem in the WH, it would be easy to direct the background check system to deny approval for future purchases regardless of what the law said.

This is why all federal taxes on firearms must be attacked from the poll tax angle.

Once again proving the real purpose of taxing is to control behaviors not to maintain the necessary things such as defense.

It’s immensely easier to go after the law abiding than the criminals since the former obey the law.

Yes, indeed.

Well, the US voters, those who bothered to vote, voted for the Socialist fool Obama. You would have THOUGHT that he would not be re-elected. No such luck.

I would love to see Trump and Cruz as our POTUS and VP-POTUS. The world would HATE to have to deal with Trump.

As Foghorn Leghorn used to say, "I say, son, I say, it warms the cockels of mah heart."

I’m all for a 100% tax on all body guards.

I would agree with that.

In fact, I’m up for some push back in all of this - it’s a fact that people who take the time to defend themselves are a deterrent to crime.

Why shouldn’t they be rewarded for doing so?

The people who have such luxuries should be the first to give them up in the name of ‘stopping gun violence’..

Dear Abby:

My husband hasn't worked for the last 14 years. All he does is get dressed in the morning and hop in his fancy car to visit his cronies. I know he`s cheated on me many times with young girls who could be his grand daughters.

I know because he brags about this to me. He smokes fancy cigars and drinks the most expensive Champagne day and night. We sleep in separate rooms because he`s always telling me he knows I`m a lesbian and my sagging body and Botox face turn him off.

Should I clobber him with my frying pan, or should I leave him, Abby?

Your advice would be appreciated ..... Mad as Hell

Dear Mad as Hell,

You don`t have to take that kind of treatment from any man. I suggest you pack your bags and move out a.s.a.p.!

Don`t resort to clobbering him with the frying pan, and try to act like a lady!

Remember ....... you`re running for President of the United States, so try acting like one!

Abby

Well they have second amendment rights and the trick for the wealthy Liberals is to make guns too expensive and too dangerous to own. So we have to make sure we make the penalties and traps even worse for them. Whatever they do to us, do tens times worse for them and their body guards.

“Isn’t a tax on gun ownership comparable to a poll tax? when are we going to get taxed for exercising our 1st amendment rights, as well?”

Sure, absolutely. A tax on Internet usage to insure that the “essential” media, like the New York Times, NBC, ABC, and CBS all continue to exist.

A tax on Churches to insure that they do not discriminate against “Gays” or “transgenders”.

I do not see any objection to those sorts of things from the left.
