Unlawful Government Fees and Taxes on Guns, Permits and Registration


Chicago, IL—The State of Illinois like lots of jurisdictions in America want to over-regulate our rights to keep and bear arms.  Additionally they want to make us pay or face arrest and imprisonment for not submitting to their unlawful extortion demands.
The politicians and bureaucrats want to force gun owners to pay for their bogus gun control bureaucracies that they create to invade our privacy and diminish our rights.  That’s absolutely a lawless exercise.
The U.S. Supreme Court settled a similar issue long ago.  Southern politicians placed a tax on people that were voting.  There were simply called Poll Taxes.  The detractors of these taxes argued in court that they were intended to deprive poor people from voting in elections.  Poll Taxes were outlawed after the Supreme Court ruled that the right could not be taxed.
We have a specific Constitutional and clear right to keep and carry firearms.  For governmental agencies demanding payment in order to enjoy that right is nothing less than criminal extortion and racketeering.
We must enjoin these lawless politicians and their appointed bureaucrats from their criminal and punitive efforts to rob us of our rights with these extortion demands. 
Frankly no gun registration or firearm permit law demanding payment is proper.  If our politicians had their way they tax us on each breath we take or word we speak.  There becomes a point when we must tell them, no.

These meddling, criminal government thugs need to be stopped from their predations by any means that prove to be necessary.

The "no" was required when someone decided that a government was necessary in the first place. Gun ownership should be up to the buyer and seller alone. Carrying should be up to the property owner alone. It's none of anyone elses' business.

Being we have the GOD GIVEN UNALIENABLE RIGHT to self defense, I don't even think a property owner should have the say to strip you of this right. If you want to allow other men onto/into your place you have no right to strip them of their rights.

The worst example of this is the NFA (1934) tax of $200 on machine guns and silencers. $200 back then was, by the gold standard, about $7,000 today. The courts have repeatedly ruled that taxes shall not be used in lieu of legislation, and can only be levied for the purpose of raising revenue. Yet somehow, a blatantly prohibitive $7,000 tax on firearms -- ownership of which is explicitly protected and encouraged by the Bill of Rights -- has been allowed to stand all these years.
It should be obvious to everyone by now, that the government has no respect for the law. Why should we?

you only have a 'right' if you defend it....if you do not use it then you will lose it....government is evil and uses force to make you submit....the bal;l is ALWAYS in your court....misplaced and Un constitutional authority is evil and immoral and not to be obeyed...no matter what....Semper Fi

Here is an report that takes the issue taxing a civil right far deeper and in a suprising direction you may not have considered.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
