Once people are forced to pay Biden’s gun taxes...it’s a new ballgame. Failing to recognize this will be another big GOP mistake. It will be their last mistake I think.
If you are one of the millions of Americans that have bought an AR 15 with 10 magazines (capable of holding more than 10 rounds) AND a semi auto pistol with 6 magazines (also capable of holding 10+ rounds), you will owe LOTS of money in federal transfer taxes via ATF Form 1 to the NFA registry:
$200.00 to register your AR 15 or other semi auto rifle
$2,000.00 to register your ten (10) standard capacity AR magazines.
$200.00 to register your semi auto pistol.
$1,200.00 to register your six (6) standard capacity pistol magazines
$270.00 for each double set of passport photos for each ATF Form 1 (assuming $15.00/per pair at Walgreens/CVS)
$180.00 in fingerprints. (In some states, they charge you to do fingerprints, say $10.00 for 2 sets).
~$1000.00 to laser engrave all your magazines compliant with ATF engraving standards
Possibly another fee to visit Sheriff/CLEO to get sign off unless you have an NFA Gun Trust drawn up (Approx $500.00).
Total to unconstitutionally register your 1 rifle, 1 pistol, and 16 standard capacity magazines: ~$5,050.00-$6,000.00
Those that don't register? Now they have a BIG fine and federal pen time hanging over you like with the Atkins accelerator turn in, the Striker/USAS-12 Destructive device reclassification, like the shoulder stock ban, etc.
If you get caught with that, you are toast and face ten (10) years in the Federal pen AND a $250,000 fine EACH.
So if they pinch you with the above "arsenal" you'll serve 180 years in prison and be forced to pay $4,500,000.00 in fines alone.
We used to have expost facto and bill of attainder thingys....come on, man!
