      Whoa now! I never said they couldn’t/shouldn’t be taxed. But we OK with a 200% markup on that tax?

      California will double the taxes on guns and ammunition

      This law serves two purposes:

      Be seen to be “doing something”, always a winner. Tack on “for the children”, a tack conservatives are winning with.

      More taxes on the poor. And that’s really the meat of it. It’s appalling how liberals (and I include myself in that definition) are quick to defend the poor, but abhor the notion of them defending themselves.
