OK to work for $5/hr in a tuna factory for Pelosi's donor? SURE..!
$1,000 tax on hand-guns? SURE..!
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 criminals are all scared and wondering how they will pay the excise tax.
Now the illegal gun sales there will B O O M !
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.
The War on poor folks continues.
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)
The law discriminates against the poor.
Which candidate would fight this?
Which candidate would know how to fight this and on what grounds?
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
/s
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?
Tea Party, with bullets.
With the current SCOTUS, nothing is off the table.
Not one penny for tribute, Sir!
