    There’s been a tax on the second amendment for decades. Having to pay the fees for licensing, and the classes, means there’s a cost to exercise the right.

    I looked at the receipt for a recent gun purchase, a rifle, and there are zero taxes or fees on it except sales tax which applies to nearly all items (such as video games or automobiles) for sale. There were no required licenses or classes to purchase or own this firearm.

      in your state. Where I am there are requirements for everything. from buying ammo to getting separate licenses for long guns and pistols.

      the weapon itself is not what I’m talking about. of course that’s taxable.
