Former Senator Moniyan (not sure of the spelling) wanted to tax firearms and ammunition at 1,000% or a lot more.
But he’s dead and gone and no longer trying to grab guns anymore.

This law infringes on the right to kep and bear arms. Newsome’s gratuitous “sin tax” remark shows that this is not a revenue bill, it about gun control.

Black market will now explode
I believe it is already illegal for Californians to bring ammo into the state. And California already has border checkpoints on the Oregon, Nevada, Arizona lines looking for fruit—but oddly not with Mexico.
Many years ago, sportsmen pushed for a Federal tax on hunting and fishing gear to be used for conservation purposes. So there is a precedent for such taxes.

You can’t tax a RIGHT. Just like you can’t have a Poll tax. But he’s a communist POS and thinks he can sign anything into “law.”
Just keep pushing, mfers.

“Is there an excise tax on free speech?”
Exactly. The government cannot impose an excise tax on fundamental constitution rights such as rights protected under the 1st and, in my opinion, 2nd Amendments. There have been several SCOTUS cases that have struck down excise taxes assessed against media, above and beyond the customary taxes that may be assessed on any other commodity, i.e., standard sales tax.

Indeed just like it made the weed dealers fat when they made it legal.
Most politicians are idiots they roam around until they bump into an electric fence and fry.

Right. What good is a paper document guaranteeing a right if the price of exercising it puts it out of reach of people?
Plus guns and ammo and registration fees make non urban gang types gun free by cost.
Like the “poll tax” that meant many black people couldn’t vote in the 1940s.

Imagine what will happen to criminals using ammunition that is found to have been smuggled into CA without the mandatory tax paid!
That murderer is going to be in an AWFUL lot of trouble now!

Their goal is to take guns from non-violent citizens while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals. The government's Sturmabteilung

Poll taxes were declared unconstitutional. This is a tax on an explicit right in the original bill of rights. Only a Democrat would think this would pass constitutional muster, but then Democrats think there should be absolutely no limits on government.

No tax on free speech, just arrest and indefinite incarceration ala Jan 6 protesters.

Their goal is to extract more taxes from innocent citizens to pay for bills that shouldn’t have been incurred in the first place.
