You forgot to mention bullets....should they be taxed too because they're not a necessity? What about toilet paper? LOL

Bullets have a constitutional defense as they are a necessary component of the 2nd amendment. "shall not be infringed" is pretty specific. Taxation of bullets can be legitimately called an infringement of the 2nd amendment rights because it may prevent some citizens from exercising their rights.
