(3 posts)"highly destructive weapons" your definition is cute
we already have that classification, a destructive device; it is what keeps people from buying weapons higher than .50 caliber and explosives without a expensive permit and background check
"personally, that's how I define an "assault weapon" - a semi-automatic long-gun capable of firing more than 15 rounds of ammo between reloads."
So a ruger 10/22 is an assault weapon?
So a lever action rifle is an assault weapon?
So any small caliber, tube fed rifle should be taxed as an assault weapon?
"Weapons with...accessories like bayonets"
So you would declare every rifle with a bayonet lug to be a destructive weapon and tax the owners?
so my land pattern Brown Bess is a baby killing assault weapon?
"Taxes aren't just for raising revenue, but also for modifying behavior"
How many supreme court cases must you ignore before you learn that the government cannot use taxation to infringe upon a right.
