We tax alcohol and cigarettes, tax gun ownership.

Taxing fundamental rights would get a bit sticky in court.

"We tax alcohol and cigarettes"

And when the tax gets too onerous, smugglers and bootleggers step in to fill the need. Just market forces dude!

It's not a prohibition, it's a tax. We tax alcohol and cigarettes, tax gun ownership.

And those taxes also have created a black market.
