I'd tell you but it cost $545 to explain. Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2013 #39

It seems excessive. nt Mojorabbit Jul 2013 #3

It's not enough. Raise it to $500. DontTreadOnMe Jul 2013 #4

Well hell, criminals won't pay it at any price. NYC_SKP Jul 2013 #6

I don't care about the criminals, I just want to charge the gun nuts. DontTreadOnMe Jul 2013 #7

isn't it by definition that the criminals are the gun nuts? n/t Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2013 #13

You explained your intents very well. CokeMachine Jul 2013 #17

Preserved for posterity... beevul Jul 2013 #19

We need to tax ammo as well. Maybe we should start at $.50 per bullet. DontTreadOnMe Jul 2013 #20

I think... beevul Jul 2013 #22

Hey, just think of it like a round of golf DontTreadOnMe Jul 2013 #23

Not likely. beevul Jul 2013 #24

Then we will have to tax you for each time you fire the gun too DontTreadOnMe Jul 2013 #25

Good luck with that. beevul Jul 2013 #26

We will make an exception just for you, since you live in the middle of bumfuck Nebraska DontTreadOnMe Jul 2013 #27

We don't need guns in NYC, but I guess you Mountain Men like eating possum DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #44

Your mayor also thinks you don't need civil liberties. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #47

The Mayor of NYC is a REPUBLICAN DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #48

So what? His gun policies got no small amount of approval at DU. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #49

Can you even point to NYC on a map? DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #52

While it's mildly amusing to watch you act out, I'd like to discuss the OP. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #55

act out?... I just love poking sticks at you gun nuts, it's so easy DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #59

"There is a huge backlash coming..." The teabaggers have been saying that for years- friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #60

You really need to change your screen name. nt Common Sense Party Aug 2013 #61

Why? Because I want to take your guns away? DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #62

You really need to change your screen name. nt Common Sense Party Aug 2013 #64

If YOU own a gun, maybe you are the one who needs to change their screen name DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #65

"Just a matter of time until we take away your guns." Your candor would be refreshing... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #66

One step at a time... DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #67

...and two steps back-that policy was speedily reversed after it was publicized. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #68

Oh, just a first step... there are plenty of Americans who are ready to take away your guns! DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #69

Will you be helping to go around and pick them up? friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #70

Or will you be leaving that to others? There's a term for people like that. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #71

That depends. beevul Aug 2013 #72

I can't help but think that more than a few of those "others who were armed"... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #73

I'd point out that even if 99% of gun owners submitted meekly... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #74

Yes, I volunteer to peel your gun out of your cold dead hands... DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #75

While armed, no doubt... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #84

That should read "I volunteer to *try* to peel the gun out of your cold dead hands" friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #86

Also, will you be relying on our right-of-center "all volunteer" armed forces? friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #87

Looks like those questions were just a bit too awkward to be answered... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #96

Despite their claims to the contrary, grabbers are losing ground, aren't they? NYC_SKP Aug 2013 #103
