Are you series?
IS it a fee? Is it a tax? Doesn’t matter! Government can make you pay any dang thing it wants you to, no matter what you think about it! Won’t be long before the reeducation begins.
I second the motion. Switzerland has something similar so it isn’t unprecedented.
In Kennesaw, Georgia that is already a law. However, it isn’t enforced by any means... Still pretty cool law on the books...
Exactly what I was thinking! Start introducing bills to make liberals purchase things they don’t want!
Not just a firearm, but a military-grade assault rifle, battle rifle, or sniper rifle to fulfill the Constitutional mandate of the 2nd Amendment.
There ya go. Excellent way of making the point.
I love this! Go ahead make it a tax if you don’t own a gun that way our Chief Traitor Just-Us Roberts can support it.
Nothing like shoving this right back down their communist throats.
This is a brilliant suggestion.
Yeah, why not? The constitutional high ground is evidently for shmucks. Play the hand dealt. Along with guns tax citizens, male and female, who kill their unborn babies and target the money to private adoption.
I love the idea. Then a bill requiring everyone to purchase at least one pack of cigarette every week and buy a subscription to the Limbaugh Letter.
Include that all monies shall be used for development of ranges (1000 yard capable) and shooting programs in every community, require HS ROTC and intramural and intercollegiate shooting programs at all colleges.
If we’re going to irritate them go full bore. Any way to protect lead bullets with a tax?
We can call it the “Affordable Weapons Act.”
AWA!

Does anyone still think Boehner and his ilk are on our side? If the GOP-e could confiscate guns tomorrow while still keeping up the charade they’re on our side, they’d do it in a heartbeat. These traitors aren’t being outsmarted and they aren’t victims of some underhanded plot, they’re playing a part while knowingly selling us out.
Buy a gun or pay a 95 dollar fine...
I’ve argued this with the guys at work for 2 years.
If Obamacare mandates that people purchase health insurance to counter the high cost of health care...
Then everyone should be required to purchase a firearm to counter the high cost of crime.
I win this debate every time.
It’s the SAME ARGUMENT!!!
The consequence of which would be to invalidate gun-control laws in every state (and cities like DC and Chicago).
Like the result.
Unfortunately, such _is_ Constitutional - but for very different reasons.
The Militia Act of 1792, enacted by the Founding Fathers, did exactly what you suggest. The federal power to do so comes from the Constitution’s explicit granted power to organize and equip the militia as it saw fit - including by telling every able-bodied male to get his own gear at his own expense, or face a fine.
Being a _military_ power of the federal government, it is not a fitting rebuttal. Wish we would, though; I’d be happy to shell out fair market value for a new M16.
Exactly. Pay a tax if you don’t own a firearm.
Oh too bad felons.
Ha, congress is more apt to pass a $500.00 annual tax on every firearm you own and a $2,000.00 tax on every one you buy.
I don’t trust a single one of the &*#(+ $#*+ congress critters.
