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?

‘If we can’t outlaw guns or confiscate them, tax them.’
I would find absolutely no difference between that statement and the following:
If we can’t outlaw democrats or confine them to an insane asylum, tax them.
Since one of these two statements clearly causes risk to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... we would only be able to enact one of them. Oh well, not really going to miss those democrats anyway.
Here’s an idea.
If we can’t outlaw free speech, tax it.
Make it a law to register everyone’s computers and then charge a tax yearly for each one of them.
Slowly raise the taxes every year (due to an increasing bureaucracy to handle the paperwork) so they become too expensive to own.
When and if the taxes are overdue, take out a lien on the computers and foreclose on them.
Hold them until exorbitant taxes, storage and lawyer fees (more than the computer is worth) are paid.
If not paid in a timely fashion, they will be destroyed.
Here’s an idea, lets say you get what you want Mr. Cutesy Ideas guy, what is your plan for when I refuse to comply and then light you on fire?
Someone should sow this fellows’ cornhole shut, thus rendering him unable to speak.
Excuse me, sew.
Here’s an idea: GFY.
You want my guns - well then, come and get ‘em yourself! But you better bring along a friend with a body bag, and the willingness to drag your worthless, bullet-ridden body off of my property.
Again, GFY!
MOLON LABE!

Real original thinker, our Mr. Olson. “The power to tax is the power to destroy.” - Judge Learned Hand. While a scheme this sophomoric scarcely deserves a reply, I’d simply like to point out that there isn’t any room in it to account for the people who simply say “no”, myself among them. And it has been tried before, with marijuana, whose tax stamp was intended to be prohibitively high. That was a little under a century ago and we see just how effective that turned out to be.
Here’s what going on in WI
AB 366 is a bill passed by the rino legislature in WI that will be used by the left as a template and precedent to require that dealers and individuals maintain a traceable (no cash) registry of customer information.
Failure of individual or dealers to maintain such a financial registry will result in fines and gun confiscation. The registry will be accessible by a government agency via administrative subpoena (a convenient way to bypass a court order).
By making dealers and individual accountable at the state and local level, the totalitarians will be able to track gun sales directly. Even better, those that fail to maintain registries according to the government’s exacting standards, will be drawn into the government’s trap.
We need to say no to cash bans and registries for all purchases. The War on Cash will be used against gun owners; it’s just a matter of time.
Wait, didn’t the author forget that the tax proceeds should be used to fund children’s health care?
‘If we can’t outlaw guns or confiscate them, tax them.
Make it a law to register everyone’s guns and then charge a tax yearly for each one of them.’
The second sentence sets the stage for the first. The first guarantees the seond. Once registered confiscation isnt far behind. What happens if you fail to pay your taxes. I strongly suspect confiscation. Its SO easy to see how taxes would continually climb until only the very wealthy and govt would have them. Isnt this what They wanted all along? I think Ill pass.

Let’s tax stupid people, like the douch nozzle that wrote this op/ed. The deficit would be gone in less than a year.

Absolutely brilliant (for Russia, maybe).
And now we see a sign of the true reason for the individual mandate in Obamacare.
I've got a better idea. Let's use them on the idiots who come up with that kind of idea!
So Mr. Olson you want to go down that slippery slope of taxing Constitutional Rights?
Lets tax the 1st Amendment also. Every person that is employed as a news person a blogger a writer etc. pays a yearly tax to use that Constitutional Right. A right to an abortion? Sure now pony up your tax fee for that abortion.

And as we’re just about to select a nominee to run for President a large portion of conservatives are trading the possibility of appointing one or more Supreme Court justices that will preserve our rights for hope and change.
