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.

sales tax on guns and ammo by infringement on 2nd Amendment rights?
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.

If poll tax is is a infringement on voting than gun tax is an infringement on gun ownership.

All sales taxes are an infringement on my rights

Normal sales tax? No
All the other surtaxes, absolutely

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

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

This is an interesting argument, especially since there is no constitutional right to vote but there is a constitutional right to bear arms.

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.

Because the 2nd Amendment is a right. If it's legal to tax guns and ammunition, then it's legal to tax a voting ballot.

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

So, incarcerated folks should be armed? How about criminal defendants on trial for murder while in the court room?

“This is an interesting argument, especially since there is no constitutional right to vote but there is a constitutional right to bear arms.“
This is false. The Constitution guarantees a republican form of government, which implies voting, and the 26th Amendment guarantees that the right to vote for people over age 18 may not be infringed.

You are sadly misinformed.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
From The Declaration of Independence.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Inscribed in the highest law, The US Constitution.

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...
