"This would mean gun safes or locking brackets out of sight in cars too... We should give tax credits, etc.

Why? We don't give tax credits for seat belts, air bags, or swimming pool fencing?

Is there anything in the 2A (or associated documents) that forbids instituting a compensatory tax on guns and ammo, much as we do for alcohol and tobacco; something to compensate for the healthcare costs the genpop is absorbing as a result of steadily increasing shootings??

I mean...what's the average cost per victim to the public (ambulances, E.R., funeral, convalescence, physical therapy, psych services, permanent disablement ) when a mass shooting takes down a bunch of innocent bystanders and why shouldn't ammosexuals bear an outsized share of that cost?

It would righteously impact the morons who shoot thousands of rounds of 9mm and .223 per hour for sexual gratification more than my relatively minimal consumption of 12 gauge shells breaking clay pigeons.
