How many "sawed-off" shotguns are in this country?

[kentuck]

I saw part of a hearing where one of the experts said that there was $2 billion dollars in the budget bill to remove all taxes and penalties from "sawed-off" shotguns?

That seemed like a lot of money to me? How many "sawed-off" shotguns are out there? I have probably seen a couple in my entire life.

Where is that money going?

1. Pretty much useless, unless of course if your are robbing or sneak attacking someone.

2. I don't believe that much is raised by taxing them

Because that is the type of gun you don't report that you have, isn't it?

4. An idea that is going no place.

It would be a good idea to tax meth labs too; if only people would report when they have one and how much meth they've made!

3. Most of that money

is likely from removing the $200 tax on suppressors.

5. Don't ask where the money goes.

It is being taken care of. Trust your republican government.
