Sensop, I feel your pain.

Gun owners pay taxes that are used against them all of the time. I'd love to see some of my taxes used to support Ranges and shooter education (clever how I worked that in, huh?). However, the situation with respect to the gay community is currently very nearly one of taxation without representation.
