So, essentially a “poll tax” for gun owners doesn’t bother Libs at all, or the fact that this discriminates against poorer people owning legal guns.
adult business fee, festival fee are not comparables...those are income producing ventures.
Translation: "Because we screw you in one arena, we are permitted to screw you in all others."
Actually, the Sullivan Act was originally instituted to ensure firearms were kept out of the hands of Blacks and immigrants. It's never done much to keep them out of the hands of criminals, just potential victims. Sort of the original "Workplace Safety Act" for criminals.

Well, that's a relief! Next, maybe they can pass a law outlawing criminal behavior, such as murder and rape. That'll take care of it.
They obviously should appeal and go to the supreme court.
It takes about 5 minutes during a traffic stop for a cop to find out your record and if there are any outstanding warrants.
States could use the same process for guns. The extensive background check they do is what costs money and should be argued as illegal since having the gun is a right.
5 minutes to find out if you’re a felon.
Strange. I don’t recall what the cost of a background check is here in PA but it’s probably under ten dollars!
(Pssst! The guns are cheap, too!)
Judge John G. Koeltl...Clinton appointee.Color me stunned!
“laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding”
“Supreme Law of the Land”
“Judges in every State shall be bound thereby”
“The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed.”
This isn’t rocket science.
It was stupid to bring this case as framed by the plaintiff.
This was my concern after Heller and McDonald that yahoo groups would start cases that result in bad precedents and a loss of firearm freedom.
Call teh Waaahambulance!
Those who choose to dwell in the Big Sh*tty, land of socialist taxation, should “p*ssy up” and pay up.
Live like a socialist, get taxed like a socialist.
One may not claim the government has the right to regulate beyond the boundaries of a strict interpretation of the Constitution and also whine about taxes being high. If the Big Sh*tty dweller lives where gun ownership is unconstitutionally restricted, he/she/it should not make claims that the tax on a Constitutional guaranteed right is “too burdensome”.
Either the tax is constitutional or it is not.
My Give A Damn, Ver. 101 program can’t seem to load up for those whose ancestors made New York (indeed, most of New England) a socialism pest hole.
Let the Turd World trash their liberalism imported and supported prey upon them. Such predation is proof that there just may be a G*d of justice, after all.
The phalanx of liberal federal judges in New York has long guaranteed that protests against their gun control, rent control, food control, and other controls get no fair hearing; and if necessary, are blocked from further appeal.
If you told Thomas Jefferson that he had to have written permission from the govt. (plus fork over some $$$) to own and carry a firearm, do you think he might ......... start a Revolution?
Wonder if this same judge thinks a 340 dollar poll tax is okay?
