Just as poll taxes were struck down, so too should all taxes on firearms, ammo, and components be struck down.
Wait, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. You may not be aware, but the Pitman Roberson tax on guns and ammunition is the major funding for our wildlife conservation, usually pays more than half the state fish and game, funds shooting ranges and hunter education programs. It's one of the best things our country has ever done with tax dollars.
