“…Second Amendment protects the rights of Americans to own guns…” “…But [it] doesn’t require taxpayers to subsidize gun ownership…”
Years ago humans had to have a blood test before marriage. It determined, among other things, blood type, to inform them of the possibility of a ‘blue baby’. Today, I pay for the care of a, ‘blue baby’. Where is the marriage tax ?
Someone is hit by lightening on the golf course, the EMT’s and others respond. Where is the Golf Tax ?
Someone is hiking in the back woods, get’s lost/hurt, needs the search and rescue at tremendous cost. Where is the Hiking Tax ?
Someone swimming gets in trouble in a Ocean/pool/river/lake/bathtub/etc. Where is the Swimmer Tax ?
A ‘Gang Banger’ stabs a kills a bunch of people, that is a tremendous about of resources, investigating. Where is the, ‘Gang Banger’, Tax ???????
If I don’t have a abortion, (or the cause of one), why am I forced to pay for them. Which 95+% of the Killing, is just for birth control CONNIVENCE ? Where is the Abortion Tax ?
And on, and on and on and on.
The possibility of something happening with everything, and response to help/fix the problem, is born by everybody. The people that work and pay taxes, PAY for all those things. They pay higher premiums, because of those that are to lazy to work or those that cannot work.
A person does not pay a ‘extra’, tax because they sky dive, scuba dive, rock climb, golf, swim, pay football, and the hundreds of other activities that can be done. So why does someone that has a firearm, need to pay a extra tax.
Golly Gee Wally, could it be it has NOTHING TO DO, ‘paying a fee’. And has everything to do with, PUNISHING/PREVENTING ??????????
If I don’t have a car/MC driven on public property, I do not Have to pay insurance for those who DO NOT pay insurance. If I don’t buy gas for something driven on public property, I don’t have to pay for public road matainence etc. (Many people do, simply because they don’t know how gas that has, ‘road tax’, used for a lawn mower/snowblower/tractor/etc, when proven, can be gotten back.)
Your analogy of car ins, is horrible ! It has NOTHING to do with: Eegore wrote “… People who drive commit a larger amount of money, repeatedly, into the maintenance of roads, enforcement of laws and development of safety features like traffic control devices, guardrails etc….” It had to do with intelligent people, taking a car, because of no insurance, and NOT giving it back until it was insured. WHICH reduced insurance cost for those who pay ! But yea, great attempt at another Spin.
A car/truck/MS, has a higher insurance rate because of the, ‘UN-Insured Motorist’. One is FORCED to pay for the CHEATS that do NOT pay.
But Wait ! Eegore wrote on 07/01/21 at 09:06:42: " ... I understand the logic of the law, ... "
