Many Floridians are concerned about gun control. Some people believe that limiting access to firearms may make the nation safer. Others believe that this goes against their rights as Americans. What about a compromise? Keep all firearms, but add a new, large tax on ammunition.
Which statement explains why this proposed tax could be considered unconstitutional?
A)In the U.S. Constitution, federal lawmakers are not permitted to make laws for the states.
B)In the U.S. Constitution, only Congress can propose taxes, not the press.
C) The firearm tax may cripple the president's ability to act as chief of the armed forces.
D) The tax may unfairly limit the right to bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment.

PHOENIX, Sept. 20, 2012—Arizona's new immigration law takes effect this week. According to the law, police officers must check the status of anyone who may be an undocumented immigrant. Officers have the right to decide who is checked under this law.
Which argument would an opponent of this law use to show that the law is unjustified
The correct answer is D) The tax may unfairly limit the right to bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment.
To determine why this proposed tax could be considered unconstitutional, we need to understand the relevant constitutional provisions and the argument being made against the tax in relation to those provisions.
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. This right is considered fundamental and has been interpreted by the courts to include the right of individuals to possess firearms for self-defense and other lawful purposes.
The argument against the proposed tax on ammunition is that it may unfairly limit or burden the exercise of the right to bear arms. By imposing a significant tax on ammunition, which is necessary for the utilization of firearms, the cost of owning and using firearms would substantially increase. This increased cost may make it more difficult for individuals to acquire and use firearms, effectively limiting their ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
Therefore, the proposed tax on ammunition could be considered unconstitutional if it is found to impede or infringe upon the right to bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment.
