Combine that with a tax-free day for school shopping so the folks can get Johnny his #2s, PeeChees, and a .40 cal S&W.

@2 The great thing is that we don't have to argue against it. We get to force Rodney Tom to justify FOR it when he runs for reelection.

In reality, every activity of every day by all of us is an exercise of some kind of Constitutional right. The Gun Fetish Death Cult just thinks their ideas should supersede all others.

If they're going to use the tax code for social engineering, why not do it for something that's actually good for people? Like getting rid of the tax on gym memberships?

Geezus. Gun sales are booming (har!) and stores can't keep ammunition in stock.

Do those deluded fucks with R's next to their names really think we'll swallow that horseshit about 'propping up retail'?

They aren't even pretending not to be in the gun manufacturer's pockets any more, are they?

And number 7 wins the thread.

@2, churches should pay taxes. Something being a constitutional right does not mean it needs to get preferential treatment in the tax code.

@7,

Last I checked, I still have to pay sales taxes on books, movies, and music. I say they should be given to me for free because of the First Amendment.

If republicans ruled the state, it would be time to either move to Idaho, or get on a boat and go up to Canada and find a hideyhole in the Queen Charlotte Islands.

What, you can't order guns through the internet and forget to pay use tax ?

But, sports arenas... those places need broad tax exemption to help build them. Because Sonics!
