Replies like this are what I was looking for. While I knew the Supreme Court has ruled in both Heller and McDonald that individuals have the right to own firearms for self defense, if you ask "Gun people" they say that Obama is just "one SC justice away from reversing that". Not sure if I give that any credit, but it is being said.
The tax part is pretty enlightening. Again, you're talking to a guy who's been fed "taxes = bad" for about 5 straight years so I'm soaking this up like a sponge.
