(16,423 posts)It's the producers and vendors that set the prices. A sales-tax of 10 or 20% on ammunition would be neglectable. If ammunition becomes unaffordable, the government could always push responsibility on the vendors.
What about the right to free speech? Are there limits to the prices of pen, paper, loudspeakers and internet-access?
The Catholic Church has contracts way back from medieval times that are still considered valid by today's governments.
I live in Germany and I pay a church-tax (a few Euros per month) deducted from my wage along with all the other taxes and whatnot. I'm an agnostic and wouldn't feel bad about declaring it officially, by opting out of the Roman Catholic Church, saving a few bucks along the way. But then I would lose all rights to services provided by the Roman Catholic Church. What if the girl I'm gonna marry is catholic and wants to get married in a catholic church?
Your example was bad.
