The bill is H.R. 3018 and it is titled the "Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act of 2013."

I don't object to hanging anti-Americans, though I think it might be worth our while to think about shipping them to Cuba. Remember the Mariel boat people of the 1980s? Why not return the favor and send Cuba our worst of the worst? We could put them in small, leaky row boats, give them compasses and maps, and tell them to row for all they're worth.

Is there STILL an ammo shortage going on? I assumed that went away.

“I believe a tax targeted specifically at guns would be an “infringement”, and why it would be unconstitutional”

Why would you think that. Look at the cigarette, alcohol, and gasoline taxes we have. Diesel fuel is especially interesting as there is a hefty tax on it even though it is identical to heating oil which has no tax. They put a different color dye in each one and if you put heating oil in your vehicle and you are found out, it is nearly a felony.

Offer an amendment calling for a 20 percent tax on abortions.

the power to tax is the power to destroy.

we destroyed healthcare.

we destroyed individualism with wealfare.

at this rate they might as well make lottery ticket purchases mandatory.

20% tax on sex toys, 50% tax on E.D. medications, 20% tax on hoodies, 20% tax on Organic food, 20% tax on Prius, Chevy Volts, hybrid cars, 25% tax on Birkenstock sandals, 30% tax on Patchouli...

Just being silly

I don’t know, where I live the prices went up but I didn’t notice a shortage in some stores. Fear of a 50% tax on ammo will bring another buying frenzy and shortage.

Right, see, because THIS bill will go ANYWHERE.

There must be 1000 bills per Congress *just* like this one.
