Thread Name: BS: Guns & laws in the US
Subject: RE: BS: Guns & laws in the US
"the land of the free and the home of the DON'T FUCK WITH ME" - put like that - that is supposed to be a good thing? It reads more like the battle hymn of the aggressive and dangerous uneducated uncivilised yahoo.

I have a cunning plan - leave the guns alone. Put a VERY large tax on ammunition, and license the smelting of lead (all those dangerous fumes, you know).   Come to that license the manufacture of gunpowder, tax it heavily, and allow rebates for documented and proven industrial and agricultural USE. That comes within the regulation of commerce and is constitutional.
