What you mean to say is the level of misuse of guns by gun owners in the US in no way justifies the wholesale licensure of gun owners, wholesale registration of firearms, punitive taxation of the ownership of firearms and the cessation of the production of new firearms.There are 1 million AR-15s in private hands, yet they account for a handful of crimes each year....why...because our criminals prefer small concealable guns....but if they want AR-15s or anything else for that matter you tax stamp isn't going to stop them........The tax stamp process is what I'm talking about. The reason machine guns are too expensive is that the tax stamp process came with a ban on sales to the public and imports for machine guns. The ban cause the prices to sky rocket. My tax stamp expansion will also carry with it a ban on sales of new guns to the public and imports for the expanded types of guns.The tax on machine guns is not there to make them too expensive for people to exercise their right to armsIncorrect, it's already being done for machine guns and it did not Fail.Taxing guns to make them too expensive for people to exercise their right to arms violates that right to arms in exactly the same manner that taxing abortions to make them too expensive for women to have one violates their right to choose.Again, we already have the tax stamp process for machine guns...
Infringement. Unarguably. Fail.
And so, criminals will still get guns. Fail.Not as many...
Indeed. All these are, without question, intentionally broad infringements on the right to arms for which there is no demonstrable compelling state interest.
