The increased volume of gun and ammo sales across the nation is translating into big tax revenue for Michigan, which will directly benefit the state's wildlife and hunting programs. The state stands to increase the funds to those programs by more than six-million dollars to top off at around 17-million dollars.

"Tax themselves" ?  yeah right.

And I'm sure the accounting is air-tight too, not a penny wasted on bloated government programs between the tax collector and the end user. Oh wait, the government IS the end user. Oh joy joy let's celebrate gov't taxing our guns. Yay I am soooooooo happy for that can't we pleez do some more taxing of ourselves????
