Don’t Ban Assault Weapons—Tax Them
Article in The Atlantic. In many ways not work commenting on or acknowledging as another left wing statist looks for approaches to disarmament. One phrase stuck out for me
"if you wanted the convenience of having such a weapon at home, you could be taxed for the privilege"
Privilege. What an over used word by the left. Your ability to defend yourself is a privilege. This so completely sums up the general confusion over the issue.
Once could also point out the hypocrisy. The left is so focused on "income equality", wealth redistribution, giving necessary things in life (food, housing, phone, car, college, job) to the needy. And with this plan to tax guns, they disenfranchise the very people they are supposed to be the champions of.
If only my contempt for the left was not already maxed out...
