All this would do is raise the price for guns.
I think this would have very little affect on Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Kimber, etc. It would certainly bump them, but not that much. Kel tech can much more easily say, if we raise our prices to $25 more than hi-point people will still not buy them, that small price difference separates our product form a marketing perspective and soon hi-point will be out of business. I think this is especially true in the long term. Has the $200 tax on suppressors caused the base price of suppressor to increase? No it wiped out commercial producers of low quality products.

I like the equal protection argument. The law says I have the right to defend myself if in imminent danger of serious bodily injury/death, minimum price removes that legal protection for the poor. All the poor people I know who worry about protection have terribly vicious pit bulls. No, I am not joking.

You been vacationing in Terlingua? I doubt this is the most controversial thing I have posted.
