How are taxes on weapons -- like any other good or service -- an infringement upon a citizen's Second Amendment rights? The Second Amendment provides a right to bear arms. It says NOTHING about the right to purchase them at a discount or avoid surcharges intended to recover some of the horrendous social costs those guns generate.

I assume they'll come back saying it's placing an undue burden on a basic right. If I read right they're refunding the Federal excise tax? This is just currying favor with gun owners at the expense of the community.
