Connecticut 18th district representative, Jillian Gilchrest, has proposed an unconstitutional bill that will negatively impact our citizens.  The right to bear arms is an unalienable right, and the 2nd amendment is the only one that specifically states shall not be infringed.  The 16th Amendment states, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

 Any taxation, particularly those on rights granted at birth, that are not explicitly covered in the US Constitution, are against the beliefs of our founding fathers and have been ruled upon by the supreme court.  Amendment 24 and precedent set in Illinois that rights cannot be taxed.

Please help fight this unconstitutional bill, and protect the only right that defends your others.  We also need to abolish the federal tax on firearms and ammunition!
