Does this mean that thugs will have to commit more crime in order to afford their equipment?
To: Leaning Right
City official: “I am here to collect the gun tax.”
Me: Ok, you're gonna collect it one bullet at a time ...

They don’t care about the criminals, they want tremendous crime.
They are collapsing the system and they just want guns out of law abiding hands for full control.
We’re making it easy.

I have a good friend that used to live there, but who has since moved. I’m glad I never have to go back to San Jose.

So libturd government bodies will charge you for exercising your Constitutional right to own a firearm. An unarmed citizenry has no means to defend itself against tyranny. My cold dead hands!
To: Flick Lives
Technically true, but as of this moment I’ve paid the feral government $2600 for NFA tax stamps that allow me to exercise my right to own a rifle with a barrel that is less than the magic 16” and the right to own a gun muffler that is far less effective than car mufflers that are required by law. So, yes, it is unconstitutional to tax a right, yet here we are.

I’ll bet a steak dinner that the weenie, leftist mayor won’t try to collect the totally illegal tax from gang-bangers.

sorry, paying a tax would disproportionately affect the poor, those most in need of a firearm. So, no sale.

Does this tax apply to the mayor, his friends and family, and his/their security detail? /s

No.
You can’t tax a constitutional right.

Aside from the Constitutional issues we could do like they do and claim the racism angle, since by their own reasoning it would price and inconvenience minorities out of legal firearm ownership.
