    It’s a false equivalence because of the 24th Amendment.

    Amendment Twenty-four to the Constitution was ratified on January 23, 1964. It abolished and forbids the federal and state governments from imposing taxes on voters during federal elections.

    Prior to that, poll taxes were legal. Just as taxes on guns and ammo are legal. Every state with a sales tax afaik applies it to guns.
