“...really just takes the cake of stupid.”

Aside from being both unconstitutional and, therefore, illegal.

But when has the constitution ever mattered to our congressional betters?

Not enough Democrats to get it even close.

"The lawmakers say the bill would generate $600 million per year, which would be used to fund law-enforcement and gun violence prevention."

ROFL!!!! Where have we heard bullshit like this before? (think - Tobacco taxes)

Democrats pushed the poll tax once upon a time too.

In the past it worked to defeat behavioral modification taxation by calling it “sin taxes.” This is fundalmentalist fanatics imposing their morals on the public. It is anti-American and anti-Constitutional to do that according to the communists (DNC).

Most ministers/churches are for liberalism’s sin taxes. Do an ad campaign with ministers and Christians all saying taxes on tabacco and guns as behavioral control, etc is holy. Plenty of left wing ministers, Rabbis and Imans would get their mugs on the camera if they thought it was supporting a liberal cause. Devil weed!

Devil butt action is the biggest health hazard and expense around. Tax butt f’ ing if sin tax is really for health care saving and not for moral high ground not for religious fanitics.

Bought some a week ago on line at Midway.

By some, do you mean more than 100 rounds?

When it is available we are limited to one box, sometimes they have a brick of 325, or 500, but no CCI stuff.

Very regressive, indeed. But they’re doing this to health care under the common folk radar, so action is needed.

Tax out of buying them so they can purchase them and give them to the various branches of the Imperial Federal Government who have no need for weapons or ammo. Why the IRS or NASA or CDC needs guns and ammo to do their jobs is beyond me. I think it is building Obama’s private army within the government.

This would be a clear infingement of the right to keep and bear arms, just like if Republicans attempted to impose oppressive taxes on newspapers it would be an infringement of the right to freedom of speech.

I propose it to be a sin tax to be a liberal democrat...

The revenue generated could be used to repay all the legal fees for conservative groups trying to get their 501c3 staus...
