$500 tax stamps?

[CPT Nervous]

I can't believe some of you guys. OK then how do some of you feel about this...

Pay a $200 tax stamp to be able to speak to your elected officials.
Pay a $200 tax stamp to prevent the police from just tossing your house during a no knock, no warrant search.
Pay a $200 tax stamp so soldiers can't shack up in your house and eat your food.

How this tax isn't the exact same thing as a poll tax is beyond me. Have there been any legal challenges to the constitutionality of taxing an enumerated right?

I think the NFA should be repealed in its entirety. However, I would trade a $500 tax for transfer of a machinegun in exchange for repeal of the Hughes Amendment.

Taxing a right is unAmerican, but unfortunately, we've given up so many of our rights that it's going to be hard to get them back. Like I said, I would rather pay a $500 tax on a $700 machinegun, than a $200 tax on a $30,000 machinegun. That's just my opinion.
