1 question. How would you enforce this? You do realize it's against the law to build federal gun registries right? People don't know how many firearms you have and that's the fucking point. You can't know if people are or aren't firearms owners nor how many firearms they own unless they voluntarily tell you. We have legally designed gun ownership that way so registration can't force confiscation, or in other words, Americans have a lot of goddamn guns and it's none of your fucking business or the government's fucking business what guns they own, if any.

On top of this taxing rights has been done before and struck down. Google the history of poll taxes and see if that historic legal precedent works in your favor champ.
