Well, finally. If a hiker can be billed for a rescue effort, then why not tax those who will not arm themselves? They are more likely to need public services due to lack of defense.

No gun, injured or killed during burglary - hospital services (Obamacare is coming soon ya know), ambulance services, potential cost of police ammunition if they have to fire at perp.

Why should the gunless get to freeload on the coattails of those that own weapons? Just my tongue-in-cheek $0.02

It’s an interesting take on the issue, my only qualm would be that if implemented, it could also as a reverse gun registration system of sorts.

Clearly, there are places in this country where crime rates are lower due to concealed carry laws.

Some people need to stop whining about guns and acknowledge the deterrent effect of gun ownership.

[This is also an albeit long ping for the article, I am really liking the term “monopoly of force” ]
