Neither property nor guns should be taxed. Why should you pay taxes on something just because you own it? Even when you pay off your mortgage you still have to pay rent to the state in the form of property taxes.

The U.S. ranks No. 1 globally in private gun ownership, with 270 million guns in civilian hands, or 88.8 firearms per 100 people. U.S. law enforcement officers only have 897,400 firearms; the military, 3.1 million.

I guess he doesn't see the issue here....
