The Firearms Police Coalition and the NRA have filed suit
against the new CA. 11% excise tax on guns and ammunition. The suit
was filed in federal court in San Diego. Part of the suit is a request
to immediately block enforcement of the tax pending action on the
appeal.
The plaintiffs are
asserting that the tax is in fact a direct assault on the Second
Amendment and that, if allowed to stand, it could be increased and
increased and increased to the point where the gun rights of the
citizens of CA have been effectively taxed out of existence.
I
strongly suspect the tax will eventually be overturned. I would not
care to bet that collection of the tax will be blocked pending legal
action. It SHOULD BE, but I wouldn't bet that it will be.
