In a letter to the editor this Libtard shares his scary idea of a way for tyrannical Big Government to use gun registration and punitive taxes to bypass the 2nd amendment guarantee.
But the "Tax" ruse worked okay on Obamacare- didn't it?
Go ahead and try it, lets see how long you remain in office when you try this ruse.
Let”s have a first amendment tax. Slowly raise the tax so newspapers like this cannot survive.
Oh, yeah, that’s a law that I would obey.
Mmm hmmm, sure, yip.
Your link goes to an OP-ED about marijuana laws.
But Obama cry’s that he does not want to confiscate guns!
This same liberal will also violently resist any efforts to restrict Muslim invasions into the US!
Taxing the right to keep and bear arms out of existence is tantamount to abrogating the Second Amendment. So nice try, jackass, but you can no more do that constitutionally than you can impose a poll tax to keep poor people from voting.
Create an abortion or porn tax. Watch Leftists explode.
FYI, you link did not take me to article, nor could I find it from that page.
People this stupid should not be allowed to address the public.
He’d make more sense if he proposed taxing violent crimes. Many offenders are already registered.
Here’s a better idea:
Throw out of office gun-grabbing pols and bureaucrats
Boycott all gun-grabbing, tax and spend “journalists” and their advertisers
Impose taxes and fees and advertising restrictions on “journalism” to give them a taste of their own Rx
Commit all ‘journalists” and politicians to Constitutional Law camps Impose a 90% or higher minimum “passing rate” before release
No.
Your move.
This idea is put forth frequently like it is brand new. Fortunately, it goes nowhere. But, it makes the proponent feel really creative and fulfilled.
Aholes like Greg Olsen should be dragged out into the street and strung up.
The Second Civil War can not come soon enough.
I’m sure the criminals will be the first in line to pay their taxes so they can keep their illegal guns legally, right? How about we license and tax journalists? Afterall the First Amendment shouldn’t be any more unassailable than the Second, and it has been proven throughout history that words can kill.
Gee, what an original idea. As if no one has tried to control behavior through taxation before. Leftists do to all the time. It tends to drive transactions underground.
Taxation without representation is TREASON!
WONDERFUL! Let's hear it!
If we can't outlaw guns or confiscate them, tax them.
Try it and I will shoot you.
Make it a law to register everyone's guns and then charge a tax yearly for each one of them.
Try it and I will shoot you.
Slowly raise the taxes every year (due to an increasing bureaucracy to handle the paperwork) so they become too expensive to own.
Try it and I will shoot you.
When and if the taxes are overdue, take out a lien on the guns and foreclose on them.
Try it and I will shoot you.
Hold them until exorbitant taxes, storage and lawyer fees (more than the gun is worth) are paid.
Try it and I will shoot you.
If not paid in a timely fashion, they will be destroyed.
Try it and I will shoot you.
If a gun is not registered to be taxed it will be confiscated because it was not reported, not because it is illegal to own.
Try it and I will shoot you.
Fines and back taxes will have to be paid to get the weapon back.
Try it and I will shoot you.
If not paid in a timely fashion, they will be destroyed.
Try it and I will shoot you.
A certificate must be attached to every single weapon to prove the yearly tax has been paid.
Try it and I will shoot you.

A fairly common idea which fails the test of a tax. Any tax must have the purpose of raising revenue and not designed to prohibit an activity. Otherwise, the government could limit the freedom of the press by increasing taxes on ink to price newspapers out of existence.
Confiscation? Hmm, why didn't we think of that before....
