It seems some communities/politicians are promoting taxing firearms and ammunition to (what seems to me to be) exorbitantly prohibitive levels. In some instances the promoters of these ideas say it's to provide funds for public safety or victims' rights, in other cases it's clearly to make it more difficult to procure firearms & ammo.

Here's a link to an article referencing Florida's law allowing felons to regain voting rights. The Florida governor's position is that, in order to be permitted to vote, felons must complete any sentence AND pay any fines levied as a result of their conviction. Some civil rights groups argue that requiring payment to be allowed to vote amounts to an illegal poll tax.

Poll taxes have clearly been labeled unconstitutional. That's not in dispute. But, by that reasoning shouldn't be illegal to tax firearms? After all, the SCOTUS has determined that ownership of firearms is an individual right protected by the constitution.

Just sayin' …
