San Jose’s city council passed a measure last month requiring gun owners to pay a $25 “harm reduction” fee and liability insurance or relinquish their firearms to the government, making the city the first in the nation to impose an annual fee on law-abiding, firearm owning citizens.

Reminds me of the RAPBACK fee and how charging extra "fees" was not allowed. But rapback's excuse was it cost that much to process the paperwork. Compare to a "harm reduction" fee.

The Supreme Court ruled that "A State may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the Federal Constitution. P. 319 U. S. 113."

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/319/105/#:~:text=The%20tax%20imposed%20by%20the,Magnano%20Co.

While I disagree with the wording (rights exist independently of whether the Constitution "grants" it), I think this is the issue.  No state can charge you a fee, tax or anything else in order to exercise a Constitutional right.

To do so restrains in advance the exercise of one's liberties, and it tends suppress their exercise.

Somewhere in the back room of the state legislature, some snarky gubmint official is going to sneak a carbon tax in our laws which allows them to tax ammo as a source of pollution, and since the tax will be applied to diesel fuel, oil, etc., it won't be seen as a tax singling out one item. This is why we pay a gross excise tax on guns and ammo right now, even with a second amendment.
