Congress has always had the power of taxation, that was nothing new.

Is Congress' power to tax really unlimited? For example, if Congress passed a $10,000 per-gun, per-year tax on firearm ownership (effectively making gun ownership impossible for a majority of the citizenry) would that be a legitimate tax function of the Congress or a violation of the Second Amendment?

Abusing power has nothing to do with the fact that the power is theirs in the first place.
