Title: Illinois pols want to tax the exercise of the 2nd A
Post by: GreyGeek on January 30, 2017, 07:57:45 PM

First, pass laws infringing the 2A which require State permits, classes and licenses for a God-given right of self defense.  Then, tax every aspect of of it.

 I really think this is bad, and hope it never passes..    But those people voted for the electors who are doing this,, took a lot to piss people off to vote for Trump.. maybe at the mid term elections,, local elections will go a different way

There should be criminal penalties for government officials who break the law by illegally infringing on rights.  If the worst thing that could happen to a bank robber was that if he got caught he might have to return some of the money he stole (or maybe even all of it, except for what he already spent), how common would bank robbery be?

So in addition to the tax on firearms and anything associated with them they're also taxing the entire service industry.  :o
