This video discusses the James V. Maduros lawsuit challenging California's AB 28, an 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition. The legal team explains the procedural complexities of tax litigation, including why the case was filed in state court due to federal anti-tax injunction laws and the necessity of exhausting administrative remedies.
