First a disclaimer. Kadizzle and Winky hunt pheasants, and have shot guns. We do not own a handgun. Yesterday the trail crew went up to the Four Peaks to put up a Wilderness sign. The sign is wooden, hand made, and expensive. To think a gun nut might decide to shoot a hole through the sign is very disturbing. After we installed the sign the sign the crew took a tire ride and went down the backside of the mountain. It is an amazing wilderness. On the way the damage by gun nuts could be seen. Gun nuts shoot up expensive signs to the point they cannot be read. One favorite tactic of the gun culture is to drag propane tanks, and televisions out into the forest and murder them. Of course they just leave the trash there.
Kadizzle wrote to three newspapers with this proposal, a 10% tax be put on guns and ammunition to pay for the damage and cleanup. We tax the drunks, the cigarette smokers, and why not the gun nuts?
