Is not just Newsom is the entire corrupt California congress and Senate, they keep on coming up with incredible stupid laws that give the government more control and tax us more while giving benefits and money to illegals. I don't understand Californian voters, I know many of us are disenfranchised and no matter how we vote the left passes every resolution into law but how do we fix a system that seems to be rigged against us and keep the stupidest lawmakers in government? From Climate Change which has quadrupled our energy bills including gasoline, natural gas, electricity to water skyrocketing water cost, who is that benefiting? The $20 an hour minimum wage increase was another assnine decision, many fast food restaurants will go out of business or will lay off workers. Instead of creating new jobs that can pay well all solutions result in increased cost or higher taxation.

Just an idea, any taxes collected under this new law after it’s rejected, must be paid back.

I have a feeling that this is heading to the Supreme Court because this California 11% tax also has implications for the NFA on same grounds.

Thank you CRPA for fighting for us!! Specially for small firearm businesses such as my company.

If we can use this taxing of a right, we can turn that over to the NFA.

I went to my local gun store the day's leading up to the 20th, it was packed wall to wall with people buying ammo and guns...recently walked in to purchase some new Iron Sights...damn near empty.

So it was said this is a tax on “retailers” and the retailers are passing onto the customers. Almost like a tariff. Sooo question is how will treat this?

I bought a firearm from Bass Pro shop in June..... I picked up my firearm after my dumb 10 day background check cleared on July 4th. I still had to pay the 11% or $70 to pick up my firearm. What a JOKE!!!!!!!!! Even though I bought the firearm before the July 1 deadline...

Great job crap. Keep fighting. Destroy newsom.

The tax on firearms and ammunition is a Federal Tax on the Manufacturer. The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman- Robertson; 16 U.S.C. §§669 et seq.), initially enacted in 1937 as the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (50 Stat. 917), provides funding for states and territories to support wildlife restoration, conservation, and hunter education and safety programs. AFAIK, States cannot impose an additional Tax except for Sales Tax.

Unfortunately, it’ll probably be a long time before we receive this overcharged. Thank you governor Jewsome 🤬

In 1819, in the case of McCulloch v. State of Maryland et al., 4 Wheat. (17 U.S.) 316, 431, Chief Justice Marshall uttered the famous dictum, "the power to tax involves the power to destroy.” That has been repeated by the courts many times since then. To tax the purchase of firearms and ammunition, over and above the general sales tax on other merchandise will have the effect intended or not, to make it harder for individuals to exercise their rights under the Second Amendment. No one would think that an additional tax on speeches, peaceful assembly, or the exercise of a religion is valid as it would run afoul of the First Amendment, so why would the new tax be valid?

The Supreme Court already settled this type of taxation scheme in Murdock v Pennsylvania 1943 and in Minneapolis Star v Minnesota Commissioner 1983.

@davidwelch6595

28 күн бұрын

But by creating the special use tax, which is without parallel in the State's tax scheme, Minnesota has singled out the press for special treatment. When a State so singles out the press, the political constraints that prevent a legislature from imposing crippling taxes of general applicability are weakened, and the threat of burdensome taxes becomes acute. That threat can operate as effectively as a censor to check critical comment by the press, thus undercutting the basic assumption of our political system that the press will often serve as an important restraint on government.

As much as I like hearing of this suit, well lets face it. THIS WILL TAKE YEARS to make any headway. By then I'll be dead of old age.

Together we can do this

Should be a big and multiple lawsuit

The challenge in beating this law is that it is a tax on FFL selling the guns and ammo, not on the consumer. Only FFLs who do more than $5,000 in sales quarterly pay it, on their gross receipts for guns and ammo. This is a tax on the dealer, not the buyer. Similar tax laws, like the one in Illinois, were defeated because they were a tax on the “right” of the consumer. Selling guns/ammo is not a “right.”

@MikeB-ff6zr

But the consumer is paying 11% extra. It may be a tax on the retailer but the retailer certainly isn't losing 11%. And a low-volume dealer can automatically beat the store price by that amount. The whole thing is asking for trouble. Oh, and some people are exempt. Imagine retired truck drivers not having to pay the tax on diesel fuel.

What bothers me is not that the nuisance (and SO many others) don't have any idea what the 2nd Amendment is for; but that he sits behind multiple layers of armed security and works to render his "constituents" defenseless, in a state that is decriminalizing all kinds of violent, assaultive behavior. What's worse is that Ca will absolutely re-elect him.
