Sort of sounds like an infringement if you ask me. But, that’s what our liberal antagonists do, they infringe.

That's what the National Firearms Act of 1934 is.

A $200 tax in 1934 on a silencer that usually cost $10 was designed to keep them out of the hands of ordinary citizens.

This 1,000% tax does a similar thing, and as we have seen with Obamacare, the Supreme Court doesn't like to rule against a tax.

I remember a story from the early 1900’s. Some NY newspaper was printing something the ruling class didn’t like. So given the first amendment, they decided to levy a huge tax on printer’s ink. The courts eventually struck it down.
