The Detroit City Council has voted in favor of placing an additional tax on bullets.

�This is the city of Detroit, we continue to beat Los Angeles every year with the number of homicides, in senseless gun violence,� said Wayne County Commissioner Reggie Davis.

Davis calls his resolution "the bullet bill." The resolution requires a mental health background on purchasers of ammunition in Wayne County, and also limits the purchase of bullets in the county. It also puts a tax on the sales of bullets.

�It has to stop somewhere and I feel this is a means to an end and that�s what this whole bullet bill agenda is all about," Davis said, adding that he knows all too well about gun violence.

Throughout World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill reminded his countrymen that they could not, through their endeavors alone, guarantee victory. �All we can do is deserve it,� he said. The same is true of President Trump and the Republican Party in 2020. The economy, the media, the Democrats, and countless other factors beyond any conservative�s control will factor into the election two years from now. Ultimately, it�s up the voters. All the president and his party in Congress can do between now and then is make the best argument for why they, and not the Left, should prevail on election day.

There are two ugly and stupid lines of �thought� � it is generosity to call this that � in American politics that are inseverable, each being the inverted form of the other: the proposition that black Americans are held hostage on a Democrat-run �plantation� where they exchange their moral and political autonomy for a pittance in welfare benefits, and the proposition that white voters � especially the poor, exurban, God-haunted ones � are too distracted by racial bigotry and homosexual terror to understand that they are �voting against their own interests.�

Well, you passed new restrictions on guns and those who own them. Aren�t you proud? Did your new laws help the twenty-nine year old woman that was beaten to death on Sunday? Perhaps the thought just crossed your mind that this was just one person and not as bad as a mass shooting. If it did, shame on you.
