(22,651 posts)The only thing I disagree with is a yearly firearm ownership tax. I do think there should be a high ownership type tax on guns but not on the first couple of guns. They should tax the hell out of ammo, a very high tax.
I don't think people who have a single gun for home protection or maybe a couple for basic hunting should be burdened with over regulating and a yearly ownership tax.
However, people with multi weapon collections/gun hoarders and re-sellers- people who shoot thousands of rounds ahould pay some kind of tax to cover the costs of regulations. A tax to cover the impact/damages guns and ammo have on our society. The damages to our environment (lead/trash cleanup)/wildlife(game wardens, poaching, shooting of protected species) shooting of signs, stuff like that, need to be paid for by a tax.
