States that balk at nation's gun laws could lose federal funds

This bears repeating.

Repeal of the 16th and a Nat'l sales tax collected by the states (in that order) would be a boon for freedom in many ways.

Until everyone started ordering online, and fed.gov "had to" start getting it'd grubby little fingers into internet commerce. Not to mention the need to take all privte sales through a .gov process so that tax can be collected on it.

I think the 17th amendment is worse. And was a real blow to Federalism/States Powers.
