1. First off gun owners do pay an 11% tax on every gun and bullet they buy

And the biggest point is the tax is illegal under state law.

If they want to pass the tax, they need to get rid of the preemption laws in that state, then pass the tax.

An illegal law is just that, illegal, and I have no problem somebody suing to have it removed. Is 5 cents a round draconian? Maybe maybe not. You know what a tax of 5 cents a round is though? Illegal in that state.

This is of course pending the decision in the court. Maybe the courts will favor the city, maybe not, but that is why we have a court system to figure these cases out.

I'm going to help you out a bit also.
