Emergency rooms and trauma centers across the country are facing budget crunches

If you want to find the real villian of the "budget crunches", look no further than the waves of illegal immigrants getting care and then walking out, or the indigent getting "free" care, as required by law, or the drugged out getting life-saving services on the hospital's dime. These places have become free health clinics for freeloaders, not emergency rooms. The rest of us pick up the bill in one way or another.

Now, these miserable, self-serving politicians want to shift the costs directly onto legitimate gun owners?

I say tax the politicians personally for allowing this state of affairs to flourish! And while we're at it, throw them out of office so they have to get real jobs, and pay their own medical bills instead of dreaming up new ways to evade their own responsibilities in the process, while simultaneously beating up on honest gun-owning citizens.
