Couldn't the government just tax gun-ownership or ammo so much that people couldn't afford guns?

A hefty tax that must be paid every year?

It does not infringe on any rights.

It not only infringes, it totally stomps on the right of free men to trade.

No it doesn't. You are still free to own guns and trade.

It would show that Dims cater to those that are More Equal. Peasants would not be able to afford firearms or ammo to defend themselves nd their families.

That would backfire, pun intended...

People can reload their own ammo and those who can't will buy it under the table...

I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.

3D printed ammo and AR 15s will fix the tax problem, sucka

We will all have plastic guns that avoid metal detection too

Couldn’t the citizens rise up and revolt against a totalitarian federal government?

Yes indeed they can and will this summer.

It most certainly does infringe on my rights. How about they tax the shit out of certain types of speech? Or maybe tax each breath you take? Can't afford another breath, off to the extermination camps you go.

Still feel like it's not an infringement?

Re: Couldn't the government just tax gun-ownership or ammo so much that people couldn't afford guns?
If you make it a "Rich Man's Hobby" like it is in Europe and other places, you eliminate the whole "We the people" for which the Constitution was intended. Several laws on the books already are like that, and we need no more laws. Here's one glaring example of classism- The Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 (the irony of the name...ugh) banned the private ownership of automatic weapons manufactured after the date it was passed, so to get a license to own an automatic weapon one would have to first find one that was manufactured before 1986. So, with no new guns being made for civilians, the price of those old guns skyrocketed - Eventually all you had to choose from were old, beat up and worn out rifles with hefty $10-$20k price tags. They wanted to keep selective fire weapons out of the hands of the poor, and they succeeded with that bill.

Available only to a few and wait until you put down Tyrone doing a home invasion murder run in your house. You get caught with what you put Tyrone down with, you will be sent to big black co*k prison with all of Tyrones buddies and relatives.

Communist think tanks paid for with our money have thought exactly how all of this will be accomplished. For decades.

A federal sales tax violates the Constitution. Not that the Democrats give a crap.

then perhaps you're okay with a $500 per year voter tax if you want to vote?

Maybe a $1000 abortion tax?

I'm ignorant on tech, but if 3-D printing of ammo is possible, why are there shortages?

that would be a great black market niche to fill
