Lew,
I detect a hidden agenda here. It’s not just about increasing revenue collections. It’s about catching citizens in “crimes” against the gargantuan US tax code. As L. Beria reputedly said: “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”
So what follows conviction of a federal crime, a nolo plea or an admission of guilt? Disqualification from gun ownership. In other words, a mass disarming of US citizens who pay taxes (but not enough). 2A bypassed and rendered irrelevant. Gun control and confiscation via the militarized IRS.
