I see what you did there

This has happened every time a democrat has taken office in recent years. Happened under Clinton, but most folks don't remember. However, in spite of the anti-gun talk, it's definitely low on his list. Worm is pretty much spot-on with this.

The belief is that since gun control isn't a hot issue, it wouldn't gather much support in congress for another assault weapons ban or something of the sort to appease anti-gun lobbyists. But slapping on a tax akin to the one applied to cigarettes is much more simple in comparison. The target would just be ammunition. Even if they looked toward this legitimately, it'd be a hilarious thought process.

"Oh, I think I'll go buy a .45 and go on a spree down at the local college and-- WHOA. Thirty bucks for forty shells? Fuck that. I'm going to a bar."

Will anything even remotely like it happen? I seriously doubt it. Obama has enough on his plate. Unless we have something akin to Columbine or some shit in the next few years.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
