[/quote] Well, first google 'poll-tax' and discover just what a poll-tax is. Then reread your question. That should clear up the mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePenciledOne Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Because it doesn't follow at all. You register to vote. And the fact that arming yourself is dangerous and it should have restrictions upon it. That way it's not like a 16 year old is going into any old store to buy a rifle. I'm a fan of the 2nd amendment, but this is ridiculously slanted and hating on democrats, which is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Voting isn't a human right. It's a legal right. Owning property is a human right. There is nothing immoral in owning a firearm. It's not equivalent to a poll tax. It's equivalent to robbery, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
