The latest ruling by the Supreme Court correctly interpreted the Constitution that individuals do have the right to bear arms. Instead of cheers, the ruling was met with a storm of protest by the far left liberal talking heads on television and by other far left liberals. These liberals are the people that keep trying to chip away at our freedoms. Latest examples; the new Health Care law and the new financial regulations bill.
Now there is a proposal to "tax guns to the max." Well thinking people know that criminals will not pay any tax but they will have guns, while law abiding citizens will hesitate to buy a gun if the prices go up because of high taxes.
Statistics show that states and cities that allow gun ownership have lower rates of crime than places that do not. Chicago has had laws against gun ownership for the last 28 years, yet they still have had one of the highest murder rates in the country, actually higher that New York and Los Angeles, having 18 murders per 100,000persons in 2008
A tax on gun ownership would only hurt law-abiding sportsmen and hunters. So call your representative and tell him or her that you are against any such tax.
