Amen, brother. Turn left until you see the beach and smell the barbecue.
But seriously, why try to stick this tax on lawful gun owners? LAWFUL gun owners don't shoot up courthouses. CRIMINALS shoot up courthouses, and even that doesn't happen very often. Who is this tax going to protect? Lawyers and judges. Tax the lawyers then! They can afford it for their personal security.
Hey, I have a great idea! Let's start a whole new tax branch of the Treasury and call it something like the 'Bureau of Firearms and Explosives'. Then just let those nice people run things. They'll know what to do.
Unfortunately, the leaders who now survive in politics are those who can safely jump in front of the stampeding herd and not those who can turn it.
