How about a 'Bullet Tax' on Hollywood Movies...

How about a 'Bullet Tax' on Hollywood Movies...

Just saw a promo for Django Quinten Tarrentino's new shoot-em-up....would it violate the First Ammendment to
Tax Movie Bullets.....$100,000 or 5% of that actors salary for every shot fired? A flat $1,000,000.00 for every fatality.
A bond of $10 million would be needed before shooting could start.

Funds could be used to post armed guards at Elementary Schools.....

Producers and cast members of these violent movies should be required to pay a "violence" tax on all proceeds for victims of gun violence.
Donald Trump got more fat women moving in one day than Michelle Obama did in eight years.

Were just lookin like hypocrites here. We don't want any random gun taxes enacted. Why should we randomly penalize hollywood? Just sayin. Are we going to start taxing movies with sexual content in them? They could be blamed for teen pregnancy and single mothers. Sorry guys I just think its kinda ridiculous. I know a lot of guys here that like to shoot IDPA and USPSA. SHould those organizations pay a "violence" tax? Not saying that we are violent folk but competing like that is re enacting a defensive scenario. ****, how about Cowboy action shooting as well? That is really like a holly wood movie. Dressing up and shooting at target based around a western town.

How about every actor who campaigns for a Democrat pays a 95% income tax....especially since they don't actually do anything to earn their money...and they want people like us who work for a living to pay more.
Maybe we won't have as many Hollywood types lecturing us every election.
10 mil a year would still net them 500k after taxes...I'll shut up now lol

It's like "you screw with our part of the Bill of Rights....how does it feel when we screw with your part'

Those defending the 2A need alliance with those defending the 1A (and the 14th A..equal protection)

You can hold the attack. I'm sorry you don't see the humor in this. And the real hypocrites are those profiting from the violence portrayed on the screen while running their mouths about our firearm rights.

Funny I always thought that they should have outlawed all guns in movies for years.
