If I have to pay taxes on something it means I really don't own it. Don't pay your property tax and the government will eventually take your house from you. If this was my gun then it would infringe on my right to own it. This makes it more than an annoying unnecessary fee.
As to the registration of my firearms being a deterrent I don't see how it could be. If I had a rifle that was registered and I was a dipshit that wanted to shoot someone like that DC sniper did years ago how would the registration deter me? I would still be able to do it and they would have no idea who's registered rifle the bullet came out of.
I am obviously pro gun and pro 2A but I am also sick to my stomach that dirtbags commit heinous crimes with them. The fact that there are dirbags out there is the primary reason I want a gun myself. I want to have the opportunity to even the odds to protect my family. Even if they don't have a gun there may be a group of thugs that want to hurt me or mine. This happened recently to a local man where I live. He pulled his pistol out and they ran off. He didn't fire a shot.
