At any rate, my $400 tax idea would make a killer amendment to the bill. Either they pass it, or it gets saddled with amendment and dies in committee.

Ummm OK, think hard. Why do the federal overlords give you a tax break on your safety deposit box? Because in the early days before the laws that made your bank spy on you for uncle sam, this was an easy way to know the existence of said box for a possible future audit. The standard deduction for children is the same thing, although now, you need to mark your kiddies at birth with the socialist insecurity number. I would imagine this token deduction is in the same category.

I’m calling for a $400 dollar deduction on anyone’s taxes if they can shoot 3 MOA at 100 yards with a privately owned, unregistered long arm and their own supplied ammo. Best homeland defense money we would ever spend.

Well, if a bad guy was carrying a gun, his gun wasn’t “properly stored,” was it?

I suspect that with a law passed that hints that it is a good idea to have a safe, the gun banning politicians figure it will be a much shorter step to pass another law to make them mandatory.

I’d say buyer beware.

The Natinal Gun Safe Coalition is run out of the office of a former Kennedy staffer – Caren Turner.
