The Preckwinkle Tax

The New York Sun reports:
The Preckwinkle Tax applies only to the Second Amendment. But the significance of the measure is that it opens up the question of whether our governments in need of money can tap into the full Bill of Rights. If, after all, one can tax the right to keep and bear arms, imagine what one could do with the right to freely exercise one’s religion that is vouchsafed in the First Amendment. How about $10 every time someone says a prayer.
Will Toni Preckwinkle go on to be a convicted felon like these elected officials?
