Criminals, who bring guns in through the open borders, will not be paying that tax. Non-violent citizens will pay the tax.
Their goal is to take guns from non-violent citizens while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

Sounds like an infringement to the 2A to me.
If they can do this then they can tax guns at 100%, 1,000%

Unconstitutional. Same as a poll tax.

The irony is this will more quickly lead to courts, or even SCOTUS itself, stroking down ALL California gun laws as well as gun laws in the other states

If you can tax a right at X%, then what prevents you from taxing it at 10X% or 100X%??? Nothing, because if it is permissible at a low rate, then it is also permissible at a high rate by operation of logic.
I am of the opinion that this infringes specifically on the RKBA. If it was an 11% additional tax on ALL goods, that would be one thing (and rather outrageous, but at least Constitutional, like sales taxes). But this is aimed ONLY at a specifically enumerated right, so it is likely unconstitutional.
I’m sure that someone or some pro-gun organization will challenge this in federal court. This is a “gimme” in terms of getting plaintiffs, as all you need is someone who bought a gun and paid this tax, then files a refund request and is denied; no one needs to risk jail time to do this. Frankly, EVERY SINGLE PRO-GUN ORGANIZATION should gather plaintiffs and cooperate on this suit. That way, if there’s a restraining order, it’ll apply to members of all of those organizations in California, not just a few people.

It’ll go to SCOTUS after an injunction against it and then overturned by appeals court.

I wonder to what extent this is just a cynical money grab, knowing that Biden’s policies are going to have guns flying off the shelves

Challenge it in Federal courts. The right to liquor and cigarettes are not guaranteed by the Constitution. The right to keep and bear arms is. Regular sales tax? Maybe. A special tax? Unconstitutional!

So gruesome is saying our God Given Right to defend ourselves is now a sin. F Newsome and FJB.

The 11% tax applies to any 11 gauge shotgun. A 12 gauge shotgun is still taxed at 12%. And so on.
