In reply to the discussion: TAX THE AMMO!!! [View all]quaker bill
(8,222 posts)I am talking about an annual registration fee for the gun. It costs me $35 a year for my fishing poles, if I want to use them. They can gather dust for free. Guns are a bit different than fishing poles, as no one to my knowledge has ever robbed a bank with a fishing pole or started foul hooking people to death in a movie theater. So letting guns gather dust for free does not work for me.
If you are truly blowing through a couple hundred rounds a day, you have a rather expensive habit. I don't think for even a moment that a little registration fee will get in your way.
It is only my opinion and I have the same right to bear it as you do to keep your guns. It is even in the Constitution, so suffer it you must.
A full arsenal is in the eyes of the beholder. My arsenal is entirely full without a gun, and always will be. Others seem to require dozens of guns or more. Some neighbors moved out from next door a while back, they needed one van just for the guns and ammo, the second one was used for the furniture.

(Oh BTW, if there had been a registration fee required, someone might have noticed that these neighbors were mostly convicted felons who had lost the RKBA. Did I turn them in? What does a group convicted felons with a van load of weapons and the fact that I am here to tell the tale say to you?...)
