Representative Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) and Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) are sponsoring legislation which amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include a 20 percent tax on handguns--"pistols [and] revolvers"--as well as a 50 percent tax on "shells and cartridges." The bill is H.R. 3018 and it is titled the "Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act of 2013."

It’s always been about raping those who can pay a little. Those politicians don’t give a damn who gets killed, who is a victim, who protects themselves or doesn’t. It’s the money.It will never be enough until the people actually do something about it. Rob those who can pay to buy the votes of the stupid and the entitlement crowd.
It is time to do just that.
I doubt if it will go anywhere NOW, but what bothers me is that there are so many fools like this elected to office someday these bills could go somewhere.
I don’t know why they even bother with a bill .... just tell the IRS to write another regulation .... that’s what Obama’s been doing with Obamacare ... just say it’s part of ‘health care’.
If the poll tax infringes on the right to vote, why do these taxes not infringe the right to bear arms?????
The Left is Evil
My thought exactly!
Why would you think that. Look at the cigarette, alcohol, and gasoline taxes we have.
Really, I’m surprised it took this long for one of them to try this. Knowing they could never ban or take the guns away it was always easier just to price them out of existence.
That would be a most blatant Infringement.
Someone should arrest these anti-Constitution clowns. Didn’t these fools take an oath to defend the Constitution?????

The California Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee recently approved a controversial new measure that places a 10 percent tax on all ammunition sold in California.
But, we had to pass a Constitutional Amendment (24th, 1964) to get rid of the Poll Tax.
Time to buy your reloader, dear, as well as stock up.
It’s against the law to encourage large numbers of people to break the law. Thus, it would be against the law to encourage a tax strike.
Nevertheless, I often wonder if, suppose, everyone were to claim ten dependents and thereby reduce withholding to a minimum and refuse to pay taxes would it starve the beast and swamp the enforcement authorities? Would there be a similar effort that could somehow starve the beast?
Now these two racists want to make guns and ammo so expensive that poor minorities will not be able to afford to defend themselves. Somebody should report them to the Department of Justice.
Why let them live? They are enablers of monsters.
I have to admit that I have done that and know other people that did. I leads to taxes, penalties, tax liens on property, wage garnishments, etc.
2nd amendment does not stop taxes on guns.
Darn! I’ve got to go out and buy a few!
A couple of weeks later a crowd gathered and lit a bonfire on King St in Boston. They then moved on to the house of William Story, a Crown agent in the admiralty court. The crowd swarmed the house, destroying Story's papers and his furnishings as well as Court records held there.
The crowd then moved on to the home of Boston's Controller of Customs, Benjamin Hallowell. They tore down his fence, broke out his windows, stormed the house and stripped it of contents.
The next target of the night was Hutchinson's home. The Lt. Gov. had gotten warning and sent his family to safety. But his eldest daughter had returned and declared she would stay unless Hutchinson also departed. Hutchinson retreated with her to a neighbor's house. The crowd did its work again and left only a shell and a partial roof to greet the dawn.
Thus our ancestors met overreaching government. It was not the last battle but merely a beginning. There followed the Declaratory Act and the Townsend Acts and the Tea Act. Martial law and direct resistance pushed back and forth until "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" and then it was game on.
