    It is though. The constitution is the law and it does give supremacy to the feds. Meaning a state or municipal law gives way to federal laws when there are none.

      Again, I think this is a tangent, but even you admit that you are able to buy a gun and own in with these taxes in place. Your 2nd Amendment right is clearly intact. There’s no Constitutional right protecting gun ownership from taxation. Where that isn’t the case with voting. The 24th Amendment protects your right to vote without any fee. Gun ownership has no corresponding Constitutional protection.

        No. In my state you cannot unless you pay for the classes , fingerprinting and background checks , etc…

        Do not get me wrong I am for classes , and background checks.

        I don’t believe those should cost the prospective owner though.

        Now if there was no cost and those were required, I wouldn’t say a word. I hope my point is a bit clearer

          That’s sounds like, yes, with extra steps. I understand not liking the extra steps, but they aren’t unconstitutional.

          Your point is clear, but not supported by the Constitution. Taxes and fees, by themselves, aren’t prohibition of freedom. Poll taxes are, as they are specifically called out as outlawed by the Constitution.

            It has been established as I shared it earlier. .
