A long,Long time ago there was this Kingly Guy who tried to up the Tax on Tea.


It did Not go well.


This Dipstick should prolly o' had a History Class or two.??

My sincerest hope is that all these gun control laws get passed, and then promptly struck down.  The danger of course, is that some might not get struck down, or they'll use the striking down as ammo to push repealing the second amendment.

Now let's do a poll tax.

They are trying their hardest to make sure every gun owner in the U.S. votes Red.  And there is a LOT of gun owners here.

There are 400 million guns in this country, about 20 million of them are AR style rifles...

America has 20 million AR-15 style rifles in circulation, and more guns than people in the country

There is no "buy back" program, no prohibition, no taxation, no AWB, no nuthin that will ever put a serious dent in those numbers.

Every psycho, gang banger, or ne'er-do-well intent on causing harm will be able to source a gun, without much effort, from now until the end of time.

Make no mistake, the end game is to take away the ability to challenge the government. The Dems know their policies are so unpopular right now that the amount they would have to cheat to win an election right now is beyond believable. We are headed for economic collapse and even worse, possible food rationing. They know eventually there will be civil unrest if they keep the course they are on. It is all orchestrated. At the same time the crazy super woke push in the military is meant to purposely drive out conservative enlisted so that the remaining forces would not oppose orders of communist style military actions against civilians. I really hope I am wrong but unless the direction this country is headed changes, in the next decade or two we are all going to have to choose between kneeling and begging to our government or standing up to them.

That will be next. First they will restrict the sales of new AR's. Then after a few more mass shootings happen they will call for confiscation of existing guns. If the Dems are good at one thing it is playing the long game through incrementalism. Their plan is not a hostile takeover of America, it is a "death by a thousand cuts".

If we weren't such pussies, we'd be down south protecting our southern border.

The Media won't touch Chicago, Los Angeles. Or any other Left City.

But will sensationalize Philly, or any other conservative city.

Would any of you sell back your AR 15 if such an act happens ?

You'd probably have a better chance of selling them dixie chick concert tickets.  

I'm wondering who would still be willing to purchase one if it had a 1000% Federal tax on it.
