How is an ammo tax not the same as a "poll tax" for your 2nd amendment constitutional right?

The Far Left understands the importance of not surrendering the monopoly of Hard Power, which is where you may be missing where your range buddy comes from.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

I have been saying the exact same thing. It is a fucking poll tax by the same cocksuckers that created poll taxes in the south

Not sure if you mean Pittman–Robertson.

This is a 11% tax imposed by Sportsmen on Sportsmen for firearms and ammo earmarked only for wild life restoration. It's one of the few federal taxes that do what it was supposed to do. The money flows back via State F&G departments.

The Gun Grabbers have been trying to steal the money for years and little chance they will stop. Even if you dislike the tax, keep an eye for this happening again.

For Fishermen, there is Dingell–Johnson.

When a similar program was proposed for non-consumptive users of the outdoors on backpacks, tents and so forth, the response was "Nope"

Most states have food taxes too. Taxes are how we pay for our rights to be protected, and services to be provided. Another example is fuel taxes.

Should we accept all taxes? No, not automatically, but we should look at how that tax money is spent on a case-by-case basis before deciding if it is acceptable.

Normal rates, though, not a special rate?

do you think this argument would work with being denied a CCW by the courts. Similar to the argument Trump is making with the voting fraud
