Repubs used to call Democrats the "tax and spend party". The GOP is the "don't tax just spend anyway party".

Do they at least go on 27 different types of guns?

Taxing gun suppressors as a means of gun control was dumb. Eliminating the tax was dumb. People's fascination with mid-20th century military technology and their self-obsessive "I'm the PC in a video game" mentality is sicko shit. The whole American experiment in lobbyist-guided gun control legislation is such a fucking joke.

Just reading about it never fails to blackpill me.

I agree, thank "god" (or appropriate figurative substitute, it's all fake anyway) that bullshit tax is gone (effective jan 1 iirc).
