1. I don't think you will find much support for that.

1) Registration is hard enough with the 5th amendment exempting any actual criminal from complying. Add in me having to load every gun I own and take it to the police every two years, good luck with that.

2)Workable

3)How do you tax something that is uncearialized and that no one knows how many are out there? I would pay the tax on a hand full and just rotate the rest in.

4) So what's the point of complying with the tax if I can't even use the mags? Why is it that every patrolman in the nation carries at least 45 rounds ready to go with mace with a baton with a taser all for their personal defense? And a rifle or shotgun in the car and a radio on their belt for backup any time they think they will need it? But I without any backup have to make due with limits?

5) what are you implying with that? a toddler can buy one now?

6) I will already be registered and monitored but now you want me to find the one shrink in the nation willing to take on that kind of liability?

7) I can understand leaving out the military but if the police don't have to meet the same high standards I do when they are already more likely to commit a crime than I am, well how does that make any sense?

8) well I like that better than the way the ATF does it now. Any weapon they lose track of gets destroyed when they find it even if the owner has all of the required paperwork.

9) I can do that now don't toss it in as if you are some how giving me something in return.

I don't think you will find much support for that. clffrdjk Dec 2012 #1
