       The US government has a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms – and now California is saying guns should be taxed like the other two products.They do all have a common history: All have been associated with criminal organizations seeking to profit from illicit markets. It’s unclear how the new tax will affect #gunviolence, but it could reduce sales of guns and ammunition. https://theconversation.com/california-is-about-to-tax-guns-more-like-alcohol-and-tobacco-and-that-could-put-a-dent-in-gun-violence-229431

       @TheConversationUS "All have been associated with criminal organizations seeking to profit from illicit markets."That's a good definition of government -- most of them anyway.
