unconstitutional on its face
... even the most reluctant, leftist, statist courts will have no choice but to overturn it
(where do these idiots come from, is it something in the water or is it secret government ‘chem trails’ or maybe an alien mind-bending ray from Planet Nemesis, too many chemical-laced fast food burgers, or just a massive overflow from the state mental hospital...?)

It’s not just the gun control liberals who try this stunt. Here in Alabama, several jurisdictions try to impose huge taxes on XXX rated movie rentals. They knew they couldn’t ban them so they decided to try to effectively ban them through taxation. Thrown out of court multiple times. A tax must have as it’s purpose gathering revenue. A tax so burdensome as to effectively ban an activity, raises no revenue.
I wouldn't be so sure. The $200 tax stamp on short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, suppressors, and full automatic machine guns has never been successfully overturned in a court.
When the National Firearms Act was passed in 1934, a $200 tax then is about the same as a $1000 tax today.
I read the comments. They say the Governor is a Republican! Is that true?
