There is growing fear among some firearms advocates that anti-gun rights forces are going to push tax hikes on guns and ammunition.

Republican Congressman Rodney Alexander says he opposes the idea and has introduced legislation which aims to block any such proposals.

The Louisiana lawmaker says there is a quiet movement to slap large tax increases on weapons and bullets as an attempt at backdoor gun control.

Such concerns have already led to dramatic increases in ammo sales and concealed weapons permits in Louisiana.

Obama said he wasn’t against 2nd amendment rights, but most of his cabinet and czar picks are rabid anti-gun freaks. Our government can’t control the criminal population (don’t want to violate their rights) so the next best thing is to disarm the law abiding citizens. That way they can use the criminal population to control the law abiding citizens...kinda like Hitler’s Germany.

As long as we can have land owner, literacy, IQ tests, and TAXES, at polling places. I don't have a problem with it.
