24. Kind of sound like
republicans saying a 3% rate increase on the rich will kill them and the country. I'd guess state sales tax on guns and ammo are just as unconstitutional as any Federal tax would be? Where are all of the arguments on how racist and unfair sales taxes on 2nd rights to buy guns? Me thinks you guys are stretching your outrage a wee too much.
Note I didn't say I was supporting this tax, only that it would be effective. Especially if the money raised was used for enforcement of the laws we already have on the books, which you all regularly bitch about, but never seem to come up with the money to do it with. I would think it more racist and unfair to the poor to allow corporation, like insurance companies, to get jury awards over turned and put caps on settlements rather than to let juries decide as a right guaranteed by the 7th. But, some rights just are more important than others.
