49. Interesting, you didn't post a link to summary of the case - but, then, not really:

it would have rendered your reply bogus right out of the gate:

First off, this was a state tax, not Congress; second off the problem with the tax was that it was targeted at "a select few newspaper publishers"; an $100 a round ammo tax would not face that burden as it would apply to all ammo purchases on the civilian, non-LEO market equally; third off, even the Scalia Court's flawed 2nd amendment jurisprudence would not interfere with such a tax, since the government would be able to show that no real constitutional burden is being imposed on gun owners by such a tax that would outweigh Congress's constitutional authority to impose it.

Money quote: "On its face, this ruling finds that state tax systems cannot treat the press differently than any other business without significant and substantial justification. The state of Minnesota demonstrated no such justification to impose a special tax on a select few newspaper publishers."

In other words, the problem was not the tax but the way it was applied unequally. Your reply is FAIL all around. Sorry.

Meaningful gun control is coming to a future Blue America, my friend: bank it. In the meantime let us hope more of these kinds of lawsuits are filed, and won. It would be great to bankrupt the NRA and violence industry.
