Connecticut Gov request tax increase on guns

[amboy49]

The governor of Connecticut is requesting an increase of the current fee for a pistol permit be raised from $70 to $300. He stated the increase would help offset the burden the state is facing from its citizens owning firearms although a more detailed explanation was not provided.

Question: If a tax can be imposed on one of the Bill of Rights can other rights be taxed as well ? If the Second Amendment can be taxed can, say, a tax on the First Amendment be imposed as well ? When a right is taxed is it no longer a right ?

What else would anyone expect from such an irreparably lunatinc fringe left-wing state?

Guess they need to fund more safe spaces and coloring books.

My cousin has lived there for decades. She teaches at what she calls "gangsta high". She told me that low lifes move to CT because they have the best welfare benefits.

He's obviously a racist showing his privilege.

Too bad they can't tax leadership corruption and malfeasance, they could collect a lot more money than they ever would from their gun owners.

True, but the taxes they would owe for collecting the kickbacks would be prohibitive.

Always follow the money.

Collecting money is a farce. discouraging gun ownership is the point.

Beat me to it.
