27. The problem with the "use" tax is that once they pay it, they'll feel they have license to use it.

With an ammo tax, because each bullet fired at the range or for fun at one's house has a cost, they will think twice before using.

Of course, politics is the art of the possible. We need to make it expensive however we can, since we will not be coming for their guns.

For some of them, if you listen to their reasoning, they want guns to stop the gov't from coming for their guns.
