The excessive tax will be tossed out, too.
If it isn’t then I expect Congress and the next President to impose a $1,000 tax on abortions.
Poor people in poor neighborhoods can’t afford to protect themselves from Black Market bought guns in the hands of thugs.... Nice....
Frickin’ idiots...
or preachers or journalists or....
Who knew “infringe” was spelled “T-A-X?”
This kind of crap should carry criminal and civil penalties.
Only rich people should have guns. </liberal logic>

Get rid of them. ASAP.
Shall not be infringed...
$1000 is an infringement.
They seem to forget that it was guns and lots of them that saved their asses from the Japanese.

About 30 years ago, we had a bunch of local politicians who wanted to ban porn movies for rental. They lost that case.

Infringement is an understatement.
