Newsome Signs Tax On Ammo & Guns Refers -"Sin Tax"

[llowry61]

At it again. Refers to it as a sin tax then likens it to the Pittman Robertson Act. What a crock.

Political theater. Knowing that the new law will never stand constitutional muster, pass it anyway and claim to be doing something about public safety, hold a press conference, get some TV time. When the inevitable day in court comes, shake your head sorrowfully and proclaim that you really, really tried, hold another press conference, get some more TV time.

Someone should ask Newsome what other Constitutional Rights he believes to be sins.

So, what happens in the meantime?
Gun owners still pay the tax?

I would imagine so. The seller would likely collect the tax till told otherwise.

What does a man with no moral compass know about "sin"?

 

[Sgt. Buzzard]

Don't know about that constitutional part. Remember the Chief Justice says it's OK if it's a tax. Think of Obamacare, passed because it was written or interpreted as a tax.

 

[Breakaway500]

All taxes are sins

Yes, but isn't any "tax" on a Constitutional right (tax on religious practice, a tax on free speech , a tax on due process, etc,) in effect a "poll tax" which has been determined to be unconstitutional?

As the saying goes... " Good luck with that"

Here in Calif. We call our Gov. Gov. Nonsense.

 

[WCCPHD]

No difference than a poll tax.

Newsom has no respect for the law unless its going his way.Both he and the ag hate the second amendment and wish it would go away.but they do have the 9th circus that rubber stamps any of their hair brained ideas

 

[Rodan]

Once again, a state passes a blatantly unconstitutional law, but the citizens will have to pay out of their own pockets through years of court battles to overturn it, while the traitors who passed it will use taxpayer money to support it. And they will never be held accountable.

The gun .orgs need to start filing USC 1983 suits personally naming every legislator who votes for/signs these unconstitutional laws. Until there is some personal consequence there is no reason for them to stop bleeding the citizens by 1000 cuts.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Full employment for lawyers. It will be enjoined, appealed, etc. Fun for all..............$$$$

 

[Buzzzer]

Yup, follow the money, it's all about, and has always been, about money...

 

[dockmurgw]

Not nearly as egregious as this one. I blame the idiots that vote for these idiots.
