What are the chances that this will be ruled unconstitutional? I'm still shaking my head over the passing of this bill, is there any hope that it may be overturned, or do I need to get over it?

Ok, maybe. But it's like putting a tax on all cars that pays for alcoholism prevention and vehicular manslaughter victims. It's ridiculous to tax a legitimate right to pay for the actions of a few law breakers.Laudable goals, though.

I can't think of an example of taxing a right enumerated in the US Constitution. It would be like paying a tax for voting, or speaking, or going to church.We do it everyday in this country. It's how we pay for civilization.
I'm pretty sure CA got away with an 11% additional tax .

Again, I'm not a lawyer, but that argument doesn't hold water for me. If the gov't imposed a 10,000% tax on guns and ammo, that would not violate the 2nd Amendment??Your right to bear arms isn't being taxed. Just the transaction when you purchase it.
You do not have a right to purchase anything.
Laudable goals, but they are taxing the wrong thing for it. Tax drugs and alcohol, they are the accelerant of 99.9 % of mental health issues, as well as being a key ingredient of most rapes in the military.If you don't know:
Proposition KK: New excise tax on gun and ammunition sales, explained
Prop. KK would levy a new 6.5 percent excise tax on gunsellers for all sales of ammunition, firearms and gun parts. The money would fund programs for crime victims and behavioral health support for veterans and youth.www.cpr.org
I think there's a question around interstate commerce, but I'm not sure. A state excise tax on goods like this has been contemplated in many places before, but it always ran into the commerce clause.

Wrong type of bikers, I think.Seems to me that there is a fair number of bikers on and about the forum so I thought I'd start a thread for all matters motorcycling.
First up does anybody know where I can get parts and helpful advice for BMW's without paying BMW prices? I've always used Sprint Manufacturing for Triumph bits'n'bobs but now that I've moved over to the dark side I need to find another supplier.

It should be the opposite. Owning guns is a right. The purchase of guns and ammo should be tax deductible and should be subsidized/free for the poor.
