WARNING, IT IS STARTING, Just as I said it would.

The following cases ruled that it is unconstitutional to require a license or require registration for a constitutional right.
http://laws.findlaw.com/US/319/105.html

Case Name: MURDOCK V. PENNSYLVANIA, 319 U.S. 105

NO. 480. ARGUED MARCH 10, 11, 1943. - DECIDED MAY 3, 1943. - 149 PA.
SUPER. 175, 27 A.2D 666, REVERSED.

This case also:

Follett v. Town of McCormick, 321 US 573 (1944)

These citizens of the County should sue under this premise on purely Secons Amendment grounds. do not muddy the waters with Fifth Amendment challenges, etc, as Emerson has. This gives then the out of a ruling on Fifth Amendment grounds without touching the Second Amendment portion of the challenge.

Gun Control: The proposition that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own panty hose, is more acceptable than allowing that same woman to defend herself with a firearm.
 
I decided to check up on this as I live next door to Nassau county and this is too close to home. As I indicated in my posts above Nassau county is in bad shape financially and is looking for ways to raise money.

I queried SASI (Suffolk Alliance of Sportsmen) a local RKBA group I have demonstrated with.

their answer:

Geoff:
There has been no change, to date. What has been proposed by the Nassau County Legislature, is a change to the charge for a FIVE year license, not annually. We, in support of the Nassau county Fish and Game Associations, which is the negotiations leader for the sportsmen/women of Nassau county, are negotiating with the Nassau County exec, the Nassau PD and the NC Legislature.

Nothing is yet cast in concrete.

Gary Hungerford

Director SASI

Not time to panic yet. Good people are on top of this.

I don't have a citation, but it seems that early on in the Republic's history a tax on newspapers was considered to be a violation of the First Amendment. A poll tax, according to the 24th Amendment, is a violation of our voting rights. Ergo, a fee for a gun license seems suspect.

A problem I foresee is if the feds choose not to appeal a loss in Emerson to the Supremes, and fight this battle another day (given the current court makeup); the Fifth's ruling remains in effect in TX, LA and MS, but not the rest of the country. Thus, a judge in the Second Circuit is not obliged to consider a tax on the Second Amendment to be a violation of our individual right.

P.S. I'm new here. Be gentle.

In regards to the top heavy county:

Jimpeel notes, "The following cases ruled that it is unconstitutional to require a license or require registration for a constitutional right."

So, it's true. CCW/CHL laws constitute gun owner licensing and are unconstitutional.

Yet some of us are so proud that, with our government's permission, we may pay to increase our limited ability to exercise the Constitutional Right guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

I received an E mail from Mr Robert P Firrolo, a pro RKBA atorney here on Long Island. He advises that the Nassau County Legislature is going to vote tomorrow, Friday, June 23, on the proposed increase in the licensing fees.
Current 5 year fees are $25 and would go to $200.

New license fees ae currently $40 and would go to $200 also.

Call your legislator and voice your displeasure.
