Taxing fundamental rights would get a bit sticky in court.

There's already a gun registeration fee (I think). An ownership tax would be just an extension of that. You have the right to bear arms for $2 per day has a nice ring to it!

Gunlover, > Taxing fundamental rights would get a bit sticky in court.

We pay property taxes, no?

But I don't think a tax on gun ownership would have stopped this guy.

Not really. After all, we used to be able to legally buy machine guns and grenades in this country under the second amendment. You can still buy a machine gun, but the cost (due to hidden taxes) and transfer taxes on ownership are so high that very few do.
