Like a poll tax
A $1,000 gun tax could be a role model for other US states.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Like a poll tax, only more likely to get poor people killed.

I’ve got a wicked cool idea to jiujitsu this right around: Pass a federal law that any state, local or federal taxes (not including general sales/use taxes) on equipment, supplies or services necessary to exercise an explicitly annotated Constitutionally protected right (no emanations of penumbras) is a tax credit (not deduction) against federal income tax.
It will suddenly not look like such a good idea to pass sumptuary taxes on firearms.

Properly pursued, a successful court fight against this punitive tax could set an excellent batch of groundwork to attack the NFA punitive tax in 5-7 years.

How about instead of taking 5 to 7 years to set groundwork, we immediately pass a federal law outlawing all taxes on constitutionally enumerated rights, with felony-level penalties against any legislator who votes for same.
Let the other side spend 5 to 7 years in prison, instead of our side taking 5 to 7 years to beat back a bad law.

It’s a pity that knives are now so obsolete that they can’t kill anyone anymore.
