It’s Not Obimbo...

...but it sure sounds a lot like something he’d do!

Outrage of the Week

This week’s outrage comes to us from Baltimore, Maryland, where mayoral candidate Otis Rolley is proposing a $1.00 per bullet tax be levied on all ammunition purchases in the city of Baltimore as part of his "crime plan.

According to a July 19 article appearing on WBALTV.com, Rolley said, "This is not a revenue enhancement tool. It’s a ‘make it difficult for you to buy bullets in the city’ tool." Rolley also stated that the proposed tax would cause a decrease in "random firings that too often happen around holidays."

Hmm. Tax the law-abiding citizens of the city and make it prohibitively expensive for them to purchase ammunition for self-defense, and reduce penalties for illegal drugs. That’s his idea of a crime plan? That’s outrageous.

That’s outrageous?!  That’s pretty STOOPID, too!

 

Par for the course, though.
