A gov't cannot tax away a constitutional right. The gov't is not allowed to impose a $10 a copy newspaper tax and it cannot impose a special tax the effectively prevents people from buying guns.

Ralph Torres is obviously a gun grabbing ahole, and now he wants “other” U.S. states to tax gun owners $1,000 per firearm?

‘eff him. And someone should remind him that the Marianas are not a state.

So what is the rule on territories? Are they under our constitution or are the self-governed?

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...?)

The obfuscation of using N Mariana Islands is really just a diversion that Guam, one of its constituents, is the real source of the overall GDP of “the islands” (based on the three primary US Military Expenditures there.)

In other words. The Executive Administration has a lot of “pull” and influence there.

It’s the thugs who need to be controlled in any jurisdiction which is facing uncontrolled and continued violence.

someone should remind the governor that if Guam can tip over and sink, so can the northern Maraianas Islands

(with a tip of the Halto Hat to Congressman Hank Johnson, geophysicist extraordinare)

he looks brilliant
he’s probably afraid that someone might fire a shotgun into the ground. That would poke a hole in his little island and it would then sink to the bottom of the ocean, prematurely ending his ‘governorship’

he has much to be concerned with

why not a 10k surcharge on getting an abortion.. the results would be similar - the rich benefit whilst the poor are priced out/

>A gov’t cannot tax away a constitutional right

What?! You think they care about a Constitution?

They’ve already infringed: blocking a host of weapons (auto’s, ‘Sat. Night specials’), ‘cop killer’ ammo, silencers, ‘stamp tax’, etc.

If THOSE aren’t unconstitutional, why not another $1k excise tax? What makes THAT so ‘blatant’, but not the rest?
