California legislature passes 11% tax on guns, ammunition
Doesn't look good for those of you in California. An 11% 'excise tax' on guns and ammo will make firearms ownership that much more expensive for honest, law abiding citizens (which is the whole point of the tax). I wonder if the law includes components that would also affect reloaders as well.

That's on top of the 11% excise tax the gubbermint has already imposed!

The fools are either clueless or being paid off by the gun companies. They are oblivious to the fact that actions like this only spur more sales...

I wonder if the taxing of a Constitutional right would be found to be analogous to a poll tax and found to be unconstitutional?

How any gun owner chooses to continue to live in California is beyond me? I'd be exiting that place as fast as I could sell, and pack my guns!
