Even if they do not get all the taxes they want now they are going to keep on trying until they do get them. I would like to echo Arnie’s statement.

We are quickly going the way of Europe--taxed and regulated and socially engineered into robots. And the irony is that we seem to want that. This last election saw a mandate for more regulation, taxes and government intervention in our lives with the election of the Dems. They are the party of social enigineering and taxes, make no mistake about that. And they've got their sights on tobacco, for sure. Our hobby will be a thing of the past if they get their way, and we will have done it to ourselves. Sad, sad, sad. Next will be sugar, butter, bacon, chain restaurants, cars, hunting, and on and on..... You’re right to be concerned, Barry.
