Once politicians get addicted to that sweet new cash influx, they can't say no to more.

The income is only not verifiable if they don't claim it on their taxes.

You should try talking to people who work in the industry & get their opinion.

Just use the water from your tap to fill a reusable water bottle

Why do you want servers to earn less? Are you that selfish?

New York's 'Sullivan Act' gun control laws was passed during a time when there was a large migration of southern Europeans (mostly Italian). Same bigotry

If it's so obvious then, why hasn't any state passed legislation banning ammunition? I don't think it's even been proposed.

This is about carrying ammunition

The right to keep and bear arms is not just about guns. It also includes knives & other implements useful for self defense. In Caetano v Massachusetts, stun guns were deemed to be protected by the 2nd. Claiming that the people can own arms but not the means to make them useful is a 'too clever by half' interpretation.

I forgot someone else wrote about this:

The idea that ammunition isn't included is laughable. There are a number of court cases that should be decided this year that will shed some more light on this topic

Disagree. Under Murdock v pa the state cannot tax a right. Taxing something that is a right to make it unaffordable would be unconstitutional. See also poll taxes.

Could the govt tax newspapers so that every copy cost $100?

You make the false assumption that guns are only a negative value. They are used more often in self defense than to commit crimes.

An onerous tax would 'obviously' be an infringement. The question is where that line is? After Bruen, these taxes might be struck down.

It appears repeat offenders are the main drivers of violent crime

So you admit that there are factors other than gun control laws that are more likely to affect gun murders?

Wow

The gun store broke the law by not reporting it. ATF requires reports from FFLs on gun losses.

Maine, Vermont & New Hampshire have the lowest murder rates in the country yet few gun laws.

Citing gawker should immediately disqualify anything you post.

Sure, there was no recycling at the time this was originally passed. Now we have single stream recycling & there is no need. Unfortunately slobs will be slobs.

There's no need for bottle redemption. Recycling is already mandatory.

How about you eff off?

Tell me why barbers need 1000 hours of training just to cut hair? It's because they've lobbied the legislature to make it that high to limit competition. How many poor people can't afford to pay for that much time to train? What other basic jobs are the poor shut out of?

Why don't you look at some of the cases they've handled instead of pre judging them
