Liberals’ obsession with raising taxes and gun control is bad enough, but apparently they don’t think so, because now they’re trying to combine the two.
Instead of simply banning handguns outright, the governor of the Northern Mariana Islands has decided to impose a whopping $1,000 tax to be paid on pistols – and idea Hillary Clinton endorsed back in 1993 as revealed in a newly released video seen on the next page.
The tax is per-pistol, meaning that citizens will have to shell out hundreds of dollars each time they want to get an additional firearm of that type.
Justifying the introduction of the tax, Governor Ralph Torres said that it was a necessary measure to ensure the safety of both law enforcement and the community. How this will help Mariana Islands residents protect themselves from common criminals remains a mystery.
But Torres is not content to simply abrogate the Second Amendment rights of the people he is supposed to represent: he honestly hopes that this new tax will serve as a “role model” for states in the continental US.

Guam is governed by a popularly elected governor and a unicameral 15-member legislature, whose members are known as senators. Guam elects one non-voting delegate, currently Democrat Madeleine Z. Bordallo, to the United States House of Representatives. U.S. citizens in Guam vote in a straw poll for their choice in the U.S. Presidential general election, but since Guam has no votes in the Electoral College, the poll has no real effect. However, in sending delegates to the Republican and Democratic national conventions, Guam does have influence in the national presidential race. These delegates are elected by local party conventions.[10]
In the 1980s and early 1990s, there was a significant movement in favor of the territory becoming a commonwealth, which would give it a level of self-government similar to Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands. However, the federal government rejected the version of a commonwealth that the government of Guam proposed, due to it having clauses incompatible with the Territorial Clause (Art. IV, Sec. 3, cl. 2) of the U.S. Constitution. Other movements advocate U.S. statehood for Guam, union with the state of Hawaii, union with the Northern Mariana Islands as a single territory, or independence.
A tax this high would be unconstitutional because it would be an infringment on the second amendment. It would also bring about civil disobediance and make criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens.
Glad I stirred the pot with my 5th grade education in politics. ….hook line and sinker.
