(Patrick T. Fallon/AFP via Getty …Patrick T. Fallon/AFP via Getty Images AWR HAWKINS6 Aug 202311 2:09 House Democrats introduced legislation Friday that would place a 1,000 percent excise tax on AR-15s and other firearms they refer to as “assault weapons.”
FOX News reported the tax would also apply to “high capacity” magazines.
Rep. Don Beyer (D) and 24 other Democrats are behind the tax which they also pushed last year.
The imposition would force the price of a $500 firearm to jump to $5,000 and “a weapon that normally costs $2,000 would force customers to pay more than $20,000.”
The push for new taxes on AR-15s and other firearms was put forward one day after Democrats sent a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R), urging him to allow votes on gun control.
Breitbart News noted the letter to McCarthy came after the House recessed early without taking up any gun control.
The Hill pointed out the letter said, “We are disappointed that Republican leadership cancelled votes in July with so many pressing issues facing our country. Foremost amongst those is the gun violence crisis that is the leading cause of death for children in America.
According to the constitution the govt. has authority to collect taxes to fund the govt. Nowheres in the constitution does it state that the govt. can impose taxes on citizens for any other purpose. The constitution does not grant the govt. taxation powers to wield as a form of punishment, or coercion against citizens.
Supreme Court...ARE YOU LISTENING...this will end up in front of the Supreme Court BEFORE it gets enacted...
throws trillions of dollars at ukraine
well actually our current tax rate is insufficient to cover the deficit, so technically this is how we are funding the government.
checkmate, drumpftards...
Free lesson Libtard troll: "current tax rate is insufficient to cover the deficit."
What you saying is the current tax rate is insufficient to cover spending.
Fact is, spending over the course of many years by politicians buying votes has exceeded tax revenue thereby causing the deficit.
No matter how much revenue is raised by taxes, corrupt politicians will always spend more more that is raised by taxes.
seems like most people recognized my sarcasm here, but apparently not all
Sorry fren.
haha <3
They should name this tax the "black market stimulus tax"
We are by far, the world's largest standing army. We outnumber all of our potential enemies, by a factor of 1000 to 1. They know this, but they are also foolish. Add in all the wokies who are working for the feds, and it would end rather quickly. I think this story is just another push to the brink, for those who are not yet fully awake.
I was telling people years ago that this was going to be their backup plan as gun control laws were getting successfully challenged, simply keep jacking up taxes to make the guns and ammo too expensive for the casuals to bother with it anymore and keep newbies from jumping in. Eventually even the enthusiasts stop going to the range to practice as ammo becomes absurdly expensive.
Dry fire practice is good and all but you do need live fire as well, otherwise it's as useful in the long run as practicing weight lifting with a broomstick but never actually lifting anything heavy to improve your real-life skill.
Yet the dims don’t care about the 500 shootings with 10 dead last weekend in Chicago. A heavily anti-gun city with loads of anti-gun regulations.
Leading cause of death for children in America under 5, I would argue, is abortion. Sources which i disagree with say the average is around 600,000. I believe the true figure to be higher
I think the gun grabbers count anyone up to age of 25 in their statistics in order to get numbers up to where they need them to me. But for other causes of death only count those under 18.
Can some abortions be unrecorded?
Yes, a diagnostic D&C, if the woman was pregnant, would result in lose of the child but still called diagnostic and not mention the child at all.
They also continue to harass gun manufacturers, sellers and their associated financial institutions.
They want an angry, riotous uprising.
Fire back with a 1000% tax increase on SSRIs
Just build your own.
The leading cause o death for children in America is democrats.
Demonrats hate America. Color me surprised
I can't wait til the run-up to the law passing when all of a sudden all my black rifles are worth 5k each bc to buy them after the law goes into effect Will cost 10k.
Muh fiat tho! Babylonia Magic squares, get in muh wallet!
The Democrats can't really do that right now.
These "legislation pushes" are theater. They can't do shit but make headlines and outrage. If they could get the RINOs to expose themselves to do this, it wouldn't matter anyway. The red states would sue the federal government and win. The supreme court would have to uphold the constitution if it gets put in front of them and unlike states (California) bogging down these kinds of weasely tax angled infringements in lower courts so they never see the higher court, something like this coming directly from the federal government would immediately go to the higher court.
I almost wish the Republicans would let it go through so we could get the precedents set, the lawsuits done, and we can then sue our state governments for doing this exact same weasely tax angled infringement strategy, and win by pointing to supreme court decisions.
Buy a mini- 14 with a wooden stock.
Everytime you pull the trigger it goes boom.
If tax or fees on voting is unconstitutional so are taxes and fees on guns and mandatory gun classes.
Have it styled as a hunting rifle and BAM you get around the "scary gun" tax.
Write it off as a business expense.
They literally want a civil war. And I swear...sometimes I'm ready to give them want they want. If only to beat them into the bloody, pulpy puddle that they don't ancitpicate happening as a result...for the ENTIRETLY of THEIR side.
They might be trying to validate FAFO. Keep poking the bear, fkers
Great job Democrats are keeping pushing 👏
Their definition of "children" includes anyone up to the age of 19. Go figure.
