Good question. With the current laws on the books, I'd say no, it's not but I'm willing to listen to why it is/should be.

Wish we could look at it through the rulings on “voting rights”. If we did that.. they would be giving us a ride to the gun shop while waiving all taxes and fees.

To use 1st amendment analogies, I think if it is content neutral, ie, a tax applicable to all goods and services without regard to the nature of the goods (here, 2A related goods), then no.

Mississippi has a sales tax holiday on guns every June.

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Of course it is. No right should ever be taxed.

Every gun law is unconstitutional and should be overturned.

Citizens should be able to have any firearm that is manufactured. Firearm does not mean weapon. Citizens dont need nukes or chemical weapons. But fully automatic weapons should be legal.

I have the right to happiness and I’m still taxed on starburst jelly beans.

It will ultimately be how they get their gun control... The best avenue for them would be a prohibitive tax on ammo....

Then they could say "you can own your guns"... Most people won't be able to afford to shoot them...
