Rep. Jerry Stogsdill (D-Prairie Village) introduced a bill in the Kansas legislature that would impose a 5% privilege tax on the sale of guns and ammunition in the state. Law enforcement and the military would be exempt.

HB2635 says revenue from the new tax would be used for mental health services: “There is hereby established the residential mental health treatment fund in the state treasury.

The second amendment protects a right, not a privilege.

Just like the new cigarette taxes would be used to address teen smoking, or like social security taxes being used to pay our social security.  Bureaucrats are liars.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Someone should look into his mental health to begin with.

A fun afternoon out of the range not long ago put me back maybe $15. 

Now I'm spending about $50.  Just don't understand this escalation in ammo prices.  Not like my TX legislators are going to do any stupid anti 2A actions.
