    Divide and conquer. Something the 'pols are great at. If you don't like taxes, don't vote for it, even if this particular tax won't stick it to you personally.

    Who knows, the next AA might be a 25% tax on ammunition. Do you really want to be standing there trying to convince some pot smoker that they shouldn't vote for a tax that doesn't affect them when you had shafted them exactly the same way a few years before?

    Freedom is about allowing others to do things that you might not agree with. Your freedom to swing your arms should only end just before they reach my nose, not before.

    Next time you check into a hotel and shake your head at a >10% "occupancy tax" realize that it was voted in by people that thought "oh, this won't affect me" because they're locals. Yeah, until you travel elsewhere and encounter taxes put in place by the same kinds of people.

    Regulating weed is no harder than regulating alcohol, and alcohol gets by without huge taxes. Put grass under the exact same controls and be done with it. The pols are creating a problem that doesn't exist and then they're asking for taxes to solve said non-problem.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    Do you honestly believe that if you vote against AA now that a single pot smoking leftist will thank you by voting against an ammo tax? Short term memory issues aside, these leftist fuckers would vote for an ammo tax with glee even if you gave them a kidney.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
