California Enacts First Statewide Gun and Ammunition Tax in U.S.

[Rogue AI]

Guns are already taxed

Only if you purchase or sell them. You can manufacture your own tax free. All you need are tools and skills. Sadly most liberals lack both.

Now we can go back to taxing Negroes and poor people to vote since it is OK to tax Constitutional rights.

Next the Democrat filth will tax people going to church.

California has long been trying to deprive poor and working people of their right to self defense. Looks like they may have finally succeeded.

As always, black and brown people will pay the heaviest price, which is, of course, exactly what the state wants.

The 2nd amendment tells us quite clearly that no impediments can be placed between nuts with assault weapons and a classroom full of 4th graders. If only the 4th graders had been armed..

California will become the first state in the nation to impose an excise tax on gun and ammunition sales under a measure signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Starting next July, the state will collect an 11% tax on retail sales of guns, gun parts and ammunition. The money would be used for gun-violence prevention, enhanced school safety and programs geared toward victims of gun violence.
The tax won’t apply to sales made to law-enforcement agencies and their current or former officers. The state already charges a $37.19 fee on each firearm sale to fund law enforcement.
There is already a federal excise tax of 10% on wholesale prices for handguns and 11% for long guns and ammunition, which go toward conservation and hunter education programs. In addition, several local governments impose excise taxes on gun sales, including Seattle and Tacoma in Washington and Cook County in Illinois.

Yes…democrats have always used taxes to deny access to Rights. The democrats used Poll Taxes to keep blacks from voting and now they are using taxes to keep Americans from owning guns.

Those are called anecdotes. Was that the only shooting in America on that day?

Oh boy! Another post telling us what Democrats were 100 years ago. How much mileage do you think you can get out of the fact that Lincoln was a Republican? Back in the day, you would have been a fundraiser for J.W. Booth.

They are the same today........the party of racism, violence and hate.

John Wilkes booth was a democrat who murdered the first Republican president.

Myself and others brought guns to school when I was younger and never shot anyone. We also kept them in our vehicles quite often. Of course there were no Negroes or Hispanic gang members in the school.

However, that has nothing to do with the Democrat shitheads taxing a Constitutional right. does it?

Next they will want to tax you when you go to church or ask for speedy trial or exercise free speech. That is just the kind of turds these Libtards are.

Proving you scum hate civil rights.

Guns are already taxed

Then how is CA instituting a new law taxing guns?

And what if they decide to make the tax on ammo 1000%?

Interesting rant. It has nothing to do with your desire to stamp out the civil rights of minorities, though. Want to try again?

That just means the federal excise tax is in jeopardy as well.

The argument to be made is whether or not the additional taxation puts an undue burden on the ability to purchase arms.

We need to get as many states in the Union as possible to boycott trade with California. Up to an including civilians who live in California and sell things on Amazon and eBay. Show them that if they want to do business anywhere outside of their little regime they're going to have to start voting differently over there.

That would depend on the individual. Some counties and EU countries actually REQUIRE you to own a gun, and not surprisingly, have among the lowest gun violence.

They also have a much more stable culture, like Switzerland, and require significant training on a regular basis. If they tried those requirements here the pro-gun crowd would throw a massive tantrum.

No, no.
"Undue burden" - just anther means-end test - no longer applies to the right to keep and bear arms.

To justify this tax., CA may not simply posit that the regulation promotes an important interest. Rather, CA must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. Only if a firearm regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition may a court conclude that the individual’s conduct falls outside the Second Amendment’s “unqualified command.
