The costs of guns is in the constitution? Who knew?
Yes.
The power to tax involves the power to destroy." Chief Justice John Marshall - McCulloch v. Maryland.
.
It's a maxim of American law that taxation being used for the purposes of destruction --- of any right --- is an infringement.
The Stamp Act (pre Revolution) was a direct infringement on Freedom of the Press, making mass public dissemination of articles/newspapers/journals all but impossible.
Under your premise, the Congress could destroy the press today by passing a 21st century of the Stamp Act (including things like a "Bandwidth Act" "Texting Act" etc).
Even more embarrassing for yourself, under your current premise, you have ENDORSED and DEFENDED the King George's Stamp Act as JUST and REASONABLE.
So, you want an authoritarian and unconstitutional policy and only empowers the rich and wealthy, connected and powerful, to keep and bear firearms.
You're a Communist pig.
Move to Red China or Cuba, where you can't have guns and the Government proclaims that it loves the People.
