NAFTA aside I don't care what people outside this country think about what is going on here. George Sorass can jump into the oceans as well
We could propose a special lead use only in guns made pre 1950 tax stamp which would be good for five or ten years. Let the novelty wear off. See how many take advantage of the lead shot in doubles option and let the nay Sayers gather evidence to see if a ban is needed. I would gladly pay $250-500 for such a five to ten permit.
I feel I pay enough in taxes, at all levels of my life. Why not just let people with firearms that are legal for waterfowl without the use of a plug (singles and doubles) use lead for any and all hunting uses with the purchase of a hunting license? Enforcement would be by the same people doing it now, license sales would go up, and my pocket would not be further picked. No lists would be needed.
Why does everything always have to be sold and packaged as a tax? The whole damn endeavor of hunting is taxed, from the fuel, to the dog food, to the lodging, license, ammunition, guns, etc, ad nauseum. My heart bleeds for the kids with a single parent, usually Mom, having to fork out one red cent more to attempt to pursue game with the regulations stacked against them the way they are now.
Enough.
Best,
Ted
