We can NOT let this crazy broad be elected

"Hillary has made it perfectly clear to the millions of gun owners in the United States: she doesn't like us, she doesn't trust us and she wants us to go away," said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. “The Second Amendment makes it difficult to legally ban guns, but Hillary has led the way to explaining you can achieve the same thing with high taxes.”

I think the governor of one of the US possessions (Samoa?) put a law requiring a $1000 fee for each gun sale. Reason is the judges there decided the gun ban there was unconstitutional?

Yes, residents of the Northern Marianas Islands, a U.S. territory, will be paying a tax of $1,000 per gun as part of a sweeping gun regulation package was approved.

That is very excessive, akin to a 'pole tax' to prevent citizens from voting, clearly unconstitutional.

Besides a tax Hill znd Bern are heading toward the NY Primary with no legal immunity for gun mfgrs one of the lead issues. You can imagine the effect on pricing for Ruger and S&W. Bernie is soft on the issue but Hill is fired up to attack the NRA and the 2A. If Hill gets the WH and Senate, she can have her pick of lib judges.

Bernie believes in legal immunity in the instance of someone using a gun to kill someone, not their fault unless they had knowledge it was going to happen, which is fair enough.

He does however hold them liable if they create a product that blows up in your hand/catastrophic failure due to a defect in the mfg process, they are not immune to that
