California is imposing a new tax on guns. Will it impact sales? by Aragaren in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip

I see what you are saying, but it is kind of the point. Socio-economic status plays a huge role in increases of not just gun violence but also suicide. Placing restrictions for the most vulnerable parts of the population to obtain them, while it doesn't seem desirable, can go a long way in reducing harm. In turn, funding from increased taxes that weathier individuals pay can be used to aid those same people by investing in mental health care.

You can also take deductions for costs relating to criminal activity! by Aragaren in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

I can not find it. Maybe I am blind, but where in that article does it say the CRA reports criminal activity to the Department of Justice?

This is great. You should try it. by Aragaren in c/memes@lemmy.world
Should I buy a Pixel or a Samsung? by Aragaren in c/android@lemmy.world

I had the Pixel 3XL for years and loved it, but it was time to upgrade this year. I tried the latest Pixel and I hated the redesign and I had to return it. I made the switch to the Samsung Galaxy 23 Ultra and I love it. Sadly the Pixel design is no longer as good as it once was. Hang onto that 4a as long as you can.
