Insurance on guns isn't a POLL TAX.
A poll tax is a tax imposed on voters.
Besides, having to buy insurance isn't a tax, it's a fee.
And FWIW, the tax should not be imposed on the owners, but on the gun and ammunition manufacturers.
When you buy the piece the tax is part purchase cost.
Isn't fair? you say?
I agree
Few taxes are really fair.
You want to put a insurance fee on guns and ammunition and call it a tax. Just curious, what is the government supposed to do with it when they collect it? The idea behind the insurance is to pay for injuries caused by accident or negligence, like the liability insurance you are required to have on your car. This type of insurance might make sense,k but calling it a tax and putting the government in charge of it would be stupid. That would make the government liable for every bit of gun violence in the country, and people who are shot by police would be able to sue them, and probably win.
