Proposed excise tax on ammunition and firearms…again!!

[ghosthunter]

OMFG!?! Is there anyone on this site that puts any subject, above or ahead of hunting, guns, ammo and such when it comes to their voting. Maybe the deficit, the economy, a woman's right to choose, the environment, a candidates moral character, etc, etc.... Anything? Anyone?
 How many here have kids who's futures may hold a slightly higher position on the voting importance gauge than something you do for recreation? How many here actually believe that our 2nd amendment is in peril in say, the next 20 years? How many believe, if the environment keeps deteriorating at the same rate as it has over the last 50 years, the price of ammo may not be big on the list of top concerns in the next 30 years? How many don't want dictators around the world to have an ally in the US? How many think giving massive tax breaks to the top one % isn't the way to spread the wealth of this country across the populous? How many abhore the idea of religion having any influence on how people are governed in this country?
 Anyone that clicked yes to any of those questions may not have voted as you did. Grow the hell up and get over it.
 I'd love to say that in the last 10 to 15 years, I was able to find one candidate that represented my beliefs. Since John McCain, not one candidate even came close to fulfilling all of my requirements and/or my idea of a moral aptitude to hold office. Not one! This lack of credible candidates has left me grasping for reasons to vote.
 This "hunting" site has people of all colors, religious backgrounds, political affiliations, genders and so on. Are there people on this site that are so full of themselves, they believe, how they vote is how every person on this site is supposed to vote? Seriously! Get over yourselves! Maybe, just maybe, there's people that visit this site that don't think like you about anything but maybe hunting.

I think of all the things you mentioned, the trouble is the folks getting elected aren’t thinking about that stuff and making it a priority.
Instead they waste time writing Gun law after gun law because they are  unable to address the real problems, budget shortfalls because they waste tax dollars and resources on another gun law,but they don’t enforce the laws we have.

7 million gone because no one in the ferry system got the balls to hold a captain responsible until he runs a ferry into the dock.
People on the streets with multiple offenses.
Crime out of control
Highways jammed
Game Commission off the tracks
Mental Health gets no resources the list goes on.

Ya I would like the lawmakers to spend more time on this stuff.
But instead they waste time and resources on another useless gun law or tax. So until they get their stuff together fighting an ammo tax or another gun law is at the top of my list to oppose.

I agree with all of that. I obviously didn't do a very good job of making my point. There were a few posts calling out others to explain how they vote. I'm sorry, this is America, people get go vote however they damn well please and do not owe anyone on this site an explanation. Unless I'm missing something and there's some really important members on this site. I'm totally flabergasted that anyone, after giving the situation just a little thought, would think any member was going to come on here and explain how and why they may vote a certain way.
 There are so many things I don't understand about our government and/or society and how poorly it functions that I get up everyday and think, there's no way this is viable. That this country can't keep going down this road and yet, we just keep going like the energizer bunny down a dead end road.
 All that said, of the few solid beliefs that I have, none leave room for anyone expecting anyone else to explain why they may have voted a certain way. Sorry, not sorry. We as Americans, have three things of any value, our money, our possessions and our vote. No one cares about your opinion. That's yours!  No one deserves to hear how or why anyone else voted how they did, period!

I think most people on here post to make their voice heard and to make others aware.  I'm constantly emailing senators, governors, mayor's to fight against this crap.

Same here, sometimes it's good to get a heads up on things going on so a person can make their voice heard by emailing or calling.

Judging by the last election and how the vote to repeal a lot of the bad laws that the democrats passed went. I’m sure they have the majority and will just keep passing this crap. The only refuge a guy is going to get in this state is moving to a state that hasnt been over taken by Californians and their politics

Im wondering with the new administration coming in if any of our anti 2nd amendment laws can be fought off.

The best chance of squashing any of these laws will be at the federal level. Though we’ll find out in January how liberal our state Supreme Court is when the gator guns magazine ban case is argued.

Really our only chance.
Dems control Olympia..so they'll get allot more agenda driven legislation passed than other year's..
It doesn't hurt to email your reps, and the sponsor's of some of these bills.
Keep it professional
But I suspect they'll mostly ignore anyone anti agenda..
As the upper courts start ruling on 2A Case's hopefully lower courts will get the clue and rule favorably so they don't look like idiots.
But we've also seen Washington doesn't care about the courts so there's that. Especially Ferguson.

The worse part is they are targeting the recreational outdoors man. It's not our fault that they over spent their budget and relied on the COVID money the feds were handing out like candy. Seems predjudice against a select group.

Not to worry! I contacted the Trump administration and proposed a $200 excise tax per abortion. With a 20/80 split, feds to state it should help with the budget crisis in this country. Since taxation is not an infringement on rights everybody will be fine with this..
