Democrats Want to Tax Your Constitutional Rights

Word tonight that a New York legislator is pushing a bill in Congress to require gun owners to buy liability insurance or face a $10,000 fine. That's right: Democrats want you to pay a tax in order to exercise a God-given mandate that is codified in plain English in our Bill of Rights.

Dr. John Lott, the world's foremost expert on gun laws, offers the following astute observation:

With the cost of insurance at up to $2,000, Democrats put the fine for not having insurance at $10,000.

Compare that to Obamacare where the fines for not having insurance are less than a quarter of the costs for people whose income is at $50,000.

My interpretation is that Democrats are not serious about people getting health insurance, but they are serious [in] stopping people from owning guns.

Remember, folks, a penalty is a tax, except when it's just a tax, other than when it is a penalty or simply a penalty and a tax. Ain't that right, Chief Justice Roberts?

    Why do conservatives suck so horribly using the courts to defend our civil liberties?

    All of the laws on the books protecting voting rights could / should be used to defend our other constitutional rights. What's the difference between being illegal to place a poll tax on voting and an ammo tax? The 2nd Amendment says, "Congress shall make no law....". Voting rights are based on federal state laws, but provide more freedom than a crystal clear constitutional amendment.

    In the spirit of Obamacare, will they also propose a $10,000 fine for failing to purchase and carry a concealed firearm?
