Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
"Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
-Penn Jillette
A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
But there's no limit to what gun owners can be charged. That's something I find ridiculous.
There was a case this year where a $1,000 excise tax was stricken down for being excessive (http://www.guns.com/2016/09/30/court...onstitutional/) but there seems to be a lot of room between $25 and $1,000.
Like SP1 said on page 1, a $0.01 poll tax would be declared unConstitutional in a heartbeat.
That is what you have to love about leftists, their mental gymnastics are just amazing...
A $0.01 poll taxes in unconstitutional but a $200 on the right to keep and bare arms is.
The right to abortion or gay marriage is clearly found in the Constitution but machine guns are not protected.
Illegals have the right to all sorts of tax payer funded programs but we can not deny them any thing because they are a protected class and if we do WE are the criminals...
I reckon if gun owners had to pay $200.00/year to exercise their "right", there would be much greater turn out by gun owners come election time.
You mean LEAVES the throne.
