If the leftists did not demagogue the issue, they would favor increasing the tax on machine guns from $200 to $2000 just to have the extra revenue.
LOL, they would propose something like that anyway on the grounds that they are dangerous and besides so few people have the needed permit it would only harm the ‘crazies’. They are vindictive like that. The type of people who would harass a baker with requests to make a cake depicting a devil in an act of sodomy, then sue him when he refuses.
