Wants to eliminate LTCF fees for honorably discharged veterans or those who are 65 or older.

I'm both.

How about eliminating what equates to a tax from all Pennsylvanians.

So now the financial burden of those licenses will fall on the rest of us?

I have no problem with that if it begins in 4 years

One step at a time.

All costs of gun control should be distributed among the entire citizenry, because the benefit (if any) is for them.

Needing to obtain a license before you exercise a right adds no value to you, the gun owner. It's supposed to weed out the bad guys. Making the good guys pay for it is facially unconstitutional.

It's not like gasoline taxes, where the people who pay the tax are funding the roads that are only used by people who buy gasoline. This is more like charging you a fee each time you cut your own lawn, because some people let their property go to crap by never cutting their lawn. It makes no sense.

If there was a per-procedure "abortion tax", I think the snowflakes would understand.

lets just do away with the license. most criminals don't have them anyway. there is no license requirement in the constitution.

And when you buy gasoline for your lawn mower or garden tractor (or weed whacker, or snow blower), guess what? You're paying the tax for funding the roads - in essence, a fee each time you cut your own lawn.

Every post you write deserves attention. Seriously. Haven’t seen a bad one yet.

You don't need to. You can file for a refund of gas taxes paid on gasoline used in off-road vehicles and equipment. If you don't that's on you.
