30 round magazines are NOT illegal. They do NOT require a background check to obtain.

What makes you think that the federal government is the only one that one might need to resist?
I'd like to refer you to the "Battle of Athens"

In 1994, I bought a Colt Sporter Lightweight that came with two 5 round magazines. These magazines were 20 round magazines that had a steel spacer riveted into them. It took me 5 minutes with a pair of pliers to remove the spacers and stuff 20 rounds into each magazine.

Name an administrator's policy which has directly or indirectly caused harm to you or your family, and where a gun has defused the situation?
I can not name a traffic accident that I was in where a seat-belt saved my life. I still buckle up when I go for a drive.

You don't think that maybe, just maybe, people who migrated to colder areas got used to wearing clothing and as such were shocked when they re-explored tropical areas where clothing was optional?

What good does it do to have a technology that allows you to print anything, if you never make use of it?

Do you remember when google pulled gun and bullet related items from their "shopping" search engine?

Unfortunately, there are just as many tards that are not libs. I think that nanny-stater is a more accurate description of the people that I'm talking about. Just think, would you trust Rick Santorum with the power to tax buttsecks?

That's exactly it. We have some manner of reasonable restriction on the Government's ability to tax because there's no way to enforce the tax. Abandoning cash and forbidding barter would allow any ridiculous amount or type of taxation any jackass in office dreams up. Say some study shows that the color blue is calming and the color red decreases calmness, some nanny state type thinks that we need to encourage calmness so they impose a 2% tax on any item that is red in color.

I preferred it when the Democrats and Republicans in congress were too busy fighting with each other to fuck with my income.

And that's the sticky wicket, isn't it?

As far as the fairness of a 100% inheritance tax, what does that do to the families of entrepreneurs who build companies in their lifetimes, sometimes huge billion-dollar companies that employ thousands of people and provide goods and services for millions?
What's ironic is that high inheritance tax rates empower corporations over small-medium sized businesses. A corporation will never age, never die, never have hairs. So while the government is extracting 25-50% of the value of a company every time an owner dies, corporations are just motoring along and paying the minimum tax allowed by law.
I do not wish to put words in the GP's mouth, but it's been my observation that people who want higher tax rates are often concerned with the domination that corporations have begun to wield over our society.

Heck, the income taxes in the late 50's through the early 80's did just that and the relative proportions of wealth in society remained quite stable. Then we slashed taxes on the high end and now more and more wealth is in fewer and fewer hands.
In the 50s, it wasn't unusual for a family to not have home telephone service. Through the early-mid 80s, it was usual for middle-class families to only have one television set.
So, yes, the change in tax policy coincided with and perhaps even caused the disparity but the total amount of wealth for all increased.
You're talking about cutting off your own nose to spite your face. You don't want the rich guys to have so much more than you do, but you don't seem to understand that you would have less too.

Except, of course, for the Jews.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
