"we are more than willing to pay taxes out the wazzoo for that"
What about everyone that isn't rich and can't afford to be taxed out the "wazzoo"?

Sorry JanMichael May 2014 #20

Must be nice to be rich Taitertots May 2014 #21

It is! JanMichael May 2014 #24

But you support taxes out "wazzoo", you must be rich to be able to afford it Taitertots May 2014 #32

so what JanMichael May 2014 #34

Yep, Taxes as a means of prohibition for anyone but the rich Taitertots May 2014 #42

Spoken like someone who doesn't rely on hunting for basic survival joeglow3 May 2014 #68

Ammo is taxed Travis_0004 May 2014 #31

My wife and I own zero guns, but her family hunts for food joeglow3 May 2014 #35

My wife's family JanMichael May 2014 #39

I suggest you re-read your post joeglow3 May 2014 #40

Yeah, you are in the large crowd of.....two. JanMichael May 2014 #45

Why the need to resort to personal insults? joeglow3 May 2014 #51

not hardly, but nice try JanMichael May 2014 #57

They already are taxed Duckhunter935 May 2014 #71

If you can't afford them, don't own them Major Nikon May 2014 #41

At least one person is honest enough to admit that they support firearms for only rich people Taitertots May 2014 #47

Do you support people owning cars without licensing or insuring them? Major Nikon May 2014 #53

Make an OP about those laws (PM me for notification) and we can discuss it Taitertots May 2014 #58

I asked you a reasonable and relevant question that only required a yes or no answer Major Nikon May 2014 #65

If you want to discuss an unrelated issue (cars), create a thread and we can discuss it Taitertots May 2014 #66

You mean like taxes? Major Nikon May 2014 #69

If you want to discuss taxes on automobile ownership, then create a thread about it, Taitertots May 2014 #72

I'll ask a question not so easily dodged then Major Nikon May 2014 #74

You know how poor people can avoid the OP's proposed taxes on guns? baldguy May 2014 #43

Then instead of taxes, how about universal background checks and some form of registration? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #44

There's nothing wrong with owning guns. JohnnyRingo May 2014 #22

Thank you JanMichael May 2014 #30

I target shoot and hunt. I have a 12 & 16 ga. shotgun, a 22 rifle, 22 revolver, 44 mag. revolver, doc03 May 2014 #23

Thank you JanMichael May 2014 #28

The black powder revolver is maybe 20 years old, they still make them doc03 May 2014 #37

I knew about replicas JanMichael May 2014 #59

You have no "need" for any of those. When we base policy on "need" all of them would be prohibited Taitertots May 2014 #38

so. From my posts, you have gleaned that I am "Rich." and from this poster JanMichael May 2014 #49

Why do you need a 30-round magazine? Why do you need to carry a gun everywhere? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #50

Why do you need to worship freely? Speak without censorship? Restrict giving quarter to soldiers Taitertots May 2014 #54

So you're opposed to all gun-control measures whatsoever? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #56

Your post is non-sense, not even worthy of a response. Taitertots May 2014 #61

You're the one arguing against even the mildest of restrictions. nomorenomore08 May 2014 #62

"Mildest restrictions"? Based on? Taitertots May 2014 #63

Okay, maybe I've assumed too much. In that case I apologize. nomorenomore08 May 2014 #64

Why so many different types, if you don't mind me asking? Are you a collector? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #48

Dick Van Dyke's wife kept her husband's .22 ammunition in her jewelry box. Kablooie May 2014 #25

I wish that most gun owners were like you mwrguy May 2014 #27

I really do not see where there should be such a big deal with registering guns. Thinkingabout May 2014 #36

Thank you JanMichael May 2014 #46

I'm wondering the same thing... n/t nomorenomore08 May 2014 #52

We should register people diagnosed with mental illnesses. VScott May 2014 #75

Probably. bravenak May 2014 #76
