As she testified before the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee on Sept. 30, 1993, Hillary Clinton was asked by Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.) if she supported the imposition of a new, 25 percent national sales tax on guns. Clinton emphatically endorsed the tax, stating: "I am all for that."
Just remember that Grabbing guns and taxation are two things the nation's Socialists love - and when they can combine the two....
BTW, also keep in mind that Comrade Clinton also loves the idea of the government making you an offer You can't refuse: Turn over your gun or go to jail.
"In the Australian example, as I recall, that was a buyback program..... I think it would be worth considering doing it on the national level" Hillary Clinton October 16 2015 http://www.c-span.org/video/?328774-1/hillary-clinton-town-hall-meeting-keene-new-hampshire&start=2831
Buyback works for a nanosecond. Then people go out and buy another gun, PREFERABLY from out-of-state. Problem solved.
Goes along with almost all other democrat policies that enslave the poor.
And the tax on baseball bats?
Wow, Taxing the crap out of guns is gonna sure do a hell of a lot to stop the Black market on guns..... Wait it is gonna expand the Black market.
These Progressive morons sure don’t understand how regular markets work let alone Black Marts, well that is the ones that are not directly involved with Black Markets...
Someone once told me in communist countries there was far more business going on after dark when the secret police went home than during the day.
Isn’t a tax on gun ownership comparable to a poll tax? when are we going to get taxed for exercising our 1st amendment rights, as well?
Immediately disqualifies her from becoming President.
“Shall not be infringed”
Gotta love America!! So, enact a 25% tax and tomorrow any number of machine shops will sell an X% product that doesnt require background checks nor will incur a tax. The product can be easily finished using simple tools and jigs. No, the govt isnt in control and by and large is run by the worlds largest collection of village idiots. Articles like this shows we have them in a panic and on the run.
The Second Amendment gives THE PEOPLE, which is defined as individuals, the RIGHT to keep and bear arms and to form and keep a well regulated MILITIA. This was NOT reserved for the US government nor delegated to the states but recognized as the RIGHT of individual people. The Tenth Amendment reinforces the language that gives the RIGHT to the PEOPLE. The specific reason for the Second Amendment was for the PEOPLE to be able TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM AN OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT so they gave the RIGHT to the PEOPLE and NOT TO THE US GOVERNMENT OR TO THE STATES. There should be NO TAX on firearms or ammunition as there is NO POLL TAX on a citizens RIGHT TO VOTE.
Constitutionally, guns should not be subject to ANY sales taxes at any level of government. What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED don’t they get?
Maybe we should have a tax on birth control to fund planned parenthood. I mean after all, isn’t it the same class of people that have abortions that also buy contraceptives to prevent prevent pregnancies?
I would like to propose a 100% reward/award paid to the buyer of a gun since that helps to make a neighborhood safer & makes less work for the cops.
Then tax the bad neighborhoods where no citizen will EVER testify about crimes that happen in broad daylight in front of lots of people. That only makes the cops job much harder.
Once again proving the real purpose of taxing is to control behaviors not to maintain the necessary things such as defense.
I’m all for a 100% tax on all body guards.

My husband hasn't worked for the last 14 years. All he does is get dressed in the morning and hop in his fancy car to visit his cronies. I know he`s cheated on me many times with young girls who could be his grand daughters.
I know because he brags about this to me. He smokes fancy cigars and drinks the most expensive Champagne day and night. We sleep in separate rooms because he`s always telling me he knows I`m a lesbian and my sagging body and Botox face turn him off.
Should I clobber him with my frying pan, or should I leave him, Abby?
Your advice would be appreciated ..... Mad as Hell
Dear Mad as Hell,
You don`t have to take that kind of treatment from any man. I suggest you pack your bags and move out a.s.a.p.!
Don`t resort to clobbering him with the frying pan, and try to act like a lady!
Remember ....... you`re running for President of the United States, so try acting like one!
Abby
