We in central Illinois also contribute the that communist crooked tax.
San Jose Will Force Gun Owners to Cover Costs of Gun Violence After Mass Shooting
It’s a national first, just weeks after the Valley Transportation Authority mass shooting left nine dead in the Bay Area’s deadliest massacre.www.thedailybeast.com
I don't know how legitimate of a news source this is. It does seem plausible considering where it's occurring. Near me, in Crook county, they have a "per round" tax on center fire ammunition and a healthy "per firearm " tax. Allegedly to offset the cost that the county hospitals lose annually due to "gun violence " I believe it's a nickel per round and $25 per firearm on top of already the highest state and county tax combined in the midwest.
Beware this trend coming to a leftist city near you.
Components are also taxed is my understanding.
i think so. where i live, we have so many danged fee's on just about everything. and each time a fee is imposed, the argument is, "well it's a fee, not a tax", from those that tack it onto us.
"...next, will be a fee to breathe the air."
How many Quarters does it take to use those air machines at the gas station now?
probably but the rational counter is "lets charge a fee to vote". "let's make you go to some training before you vote". We should hold people accountable if the people they elect screw the country up
that's funny, cuz back in my youth, i did work in gas stations as a mechanic. i had one boss get really ticked off, at the people who would drive over the air line, cuz the last idiot did not hang it up, and i'd have to cut, splice it. he would say, "i wish i could charge them for the air, cuz the air compressor is eating up the electricity, and i gotta give it away for free"."...next, will be a fee to breathe the air."
Reminds me of my dad's statement whenever he had to air-up a tire at the gas station:
"One day they'll probably charge up for this."
There's some places around here that don't charge for air. Fuel prices are same in most given areas anyways. Usually frequent those places whether get air there or not and drive past the rest that charge for air. A small portable AC/12VDC air compressor is easier and better. Same with windshield washer solvent and worn brittle squeegies. If solvent's filthy and windows look worse after cleaning, avoid those places in future as well. Carrying own squirt bottle and squeegee works. Very few gas stations have any kind of real service anymore. At other places? Will not use self service check out lines either. Puts more people out of work. Guess am a bit stuborn on some things?
well here for me is not California where i am sure the prices are over $4 a gallon by now.There's some places around here that don't charge for air. Fuel prices are same in most given areas anyways.

Am pretty sure know what you mean and likely agree, but becoming a "criminal" may soon be anyone just looking at any gun on display if some people have their way? Yes, am being a little sarcastic, but being a criminal in some peoples eyes are almost anyone who owns firearms.
The damage media sometimes does is in some instances is just as bad, possibly worse than criminal?
That's how the cops get new cruisers and bodycams. Seized assets of criminal enterprise.
Or just random people traveling through the area with a significant amount of cash.
What fer, why work? Make more sitting on their dead a$$ watching stupid quiz shows n drinkin.
Yeah, that. Unlawful seizure that's somehow totally lawful and nearly impossible to overturn.
Even though you haven't and won't be charged with a crime.
Kinda like the fiasco the firefighter had. Ruined reputation, huge legal expenses, lost weapons, all for inflated charges over something that was maybe purchased but legal when allegedly purchased. But we're all just paranoid, the feds aren't against us, no. They won't shoot our wife and dog this time, right?!Am pretty sure know what you mean and likely agree, but becoming a "criminal" may soon be anyone just looking at any gun on display if some people have their way?

As an example, think about a hoodie for a minute, how many people are "hoods" or crooks who wear them, but the image lives on for some people bamboozled by media stereo type casting of crime and crooks wearing them? Is everyone who wears a hoodie dishonest? Of course not! ...Well, maybe?
They dont have to be criminals. Just people with nice things. Then you get to bring a lawsuit to try to get a judge to agree that you did not, in fact use the stuff in a criminal enterprise and order the state to give it back. Civil forfeiture is pure evil.
