Uses taxes to discourage gun sales

As an alternative to the unlikely passage of legislation or a constitutional amendment, guns should be discouraged in the same way we have discouraged cigarette smoking. Taxes on cigarettes have been greatly increased and this has resulted in a huge drop in cigarette sales. The increase in revenue resulting from the increase in taxes have mostly been (or was supposed to be) used for programs to promote a smoke free society or to pay for the health care cost associated with smoking.

Bull Connor would be proud. This article proposes to use taxes to limit a constitutional right very much in the same fashion that racist southern Democrats used poll taxes and literacy tests to deny blacks from their right to vote.

How about we put a tax on stupidity.

This idiot would be taxed out of existence.
