Gun Control & RKBA

I'm guessing that the "Minneapolis Star Tribune v. Commissioner" case might come into play as this works its way through the courts.

SCOTUS and the Appellate Courts don't look kindly on cities or states that decide to tax things that impact rights like freedom of the press, voting, etc.

Post Heller and McDonald, I'm thinking they may view the 2nd anendment the same way, especially since guns and ammunition already have a special taxes on them.

If (or when) Seattle loses and has to pay the NRA six figure $$$ legal fees, and the whining starts about "taking money from the schools and fire department, etc." it will be "interesting" to see if there is any follow up in Castle Bansalot.

But I'm sure our latest Canadian based NRA hater will write a check to help Seattle out with their legal "defence" costs.
