Just like every time they try to do something to Pres Trump it ends up with him getting even more support. Every time they run their mouths about guns and/or bans they drive gun sales through the roof.
I wish someone could do a study, although I think it would be impossible, to see who is buying ARs. I'd love to see how many first time buyers there are, especially people over 25 years old.
The democrats still think they control the House ?
It’s bull crap. The courts have ruled that a tax must have raising revenue as it’s principal objective. It cannot be a tax if it’s purpose is to prevent a specific commercial activity.
Every few years, some one wants to put porn videos out of business by a similar taxation scheme. $500 rental fees, etc. Courts always shoot these schemes down.
"Shall Not Be Infringed"
I think democRATs are really stupid.
So, when folks come to burn their houses, I hope it’s televised so that we can watch it again and again.
Actually, I hope that they try. May as well get this over with.
The excise tax would specifically apply to SWAT law enforcement officers: they must pay the entire cost from their wages. And no far governments doing a “gross-up” to shift the burden to the taxpayer.
25,000% tax on abortions.
A nice Sunday afternoon would be 50 AR’s and the usual suspects.
I’m going to contact My Senators and House representatives and ask them to present a Bill that imposes a 200,000,000.00% Tax on stupid bills that impede the U.S. Constitution and in particular impediment of the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Anyone in congress (see My Tagline) that votes for them are required to pay immediately in cash to their Constituents.
STUPID FU&$HEADS !!!!
I believe you are correct. I have had the same thoughts.
In the 1960s and 1970s the AR-15 was available but no one wanted them. Plastic, NOT ACCURATE, too small for deer, ugly.
Then when the democrats began to scream for a ban on them sales went up, Up, UP! Back in the early days probably just a few thousand sold. Now it is over 25 million.
I still would not trust a democrat! They will ban them if they get a chance. If they can get a ban to “stick” then they will return to their original targets of the 1960s and 70s, HANDGUNS!
If there was a tax on brains, the Demokrats wouldn’t have to pay a dime!
Same thing the dems tried to get passed last year. The left is always more than happy to ignore the real causes of crime (not 'gun crime'), and while enabling the real perpetrators, use every opportunity to attack the law-abiding. A nifty strategy that's been SOP for several decades.
It is unconstitutional to tax guns. That is like a poll tax or taxing free speech.
Hopefully, this backfires and gets current restrictions lifted.
Criminals who get guns illegally will not be paying this tax. But I understand why democrats want this tax. Their plan is to seize guns from honest, non-violent citizens while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals. So the motivation is very clear.
UNPRINTABLE!
If you didn’t see the writing on the wall way back when obumbles took office and buy all you thought you might need. You may just have missed the bus.
Fine, let’s just impose a 500% surtax on butt plugs and nipple rings. That oughta hit them where it hurts.
The blueprints for the AR-15, 1911 and others are available for free. This type of taxation will create a blackmarket overnight, banning will create the black market too. The black market guns will almost certainly be selectable fire.
Strictly structured so that WE THE PEOPLE of a lower economic class than themselves cannot AFFORD to fight back!
