"Now, the sheer hysteria our "pro gun progressives"* exhibit at these suggestions every time I raise them in an OP or reply tells me that it is the possibility of this - taxing the NRA gun nut crowd out of the price range of indulging their deadly little hobby - that they would be quite effective. And it is certainly constitutional and otherwise legal for Congress to do every bit of precisely what I recommend."

So readily confirmed: all too easy.

"It's this kind of illogic that dooms the gun control efforts"

Then why are you concerned about it?

Just go away and let us be wrong, if our "efforts" are so doomed.

Funny stuff.
