“When this whole thing came out last week there was a gunshop owner that said he’d sell the AR for 1 cent. The 1000% tax makes it $10. Then all purchasers are required to buy a Snickers bar for $990.”
You’ve just got to admire the ingenuity average American small business owner. As President Trump stated repeatedly, the Leftists and RINOs call themselves the “elite” but, WE are the Elite. No matter how hard they try to destroy our country WE always, eventually, find a way to defeat their plans.

All of the rhetoric about AR-15s tells me the government KNOWS the people absolutely hate them. They are then very afraid there is going to be a revolution, so they have to figure out a way to keep guns out of the hands of the mob and/or confiscate them and they need to do it quickly. The momentum towards that is really moving fast.
Their concern is very real. They must set up the playing field where the opposition is severly outgunned by the authorities. That is the complete basis for all of this, not random mass shootings.

That’s what the Obamacare tax was and John Roberts said it was fine.

I view it the same as a poll tax and just as unconstitutional.

These people have dropped all pretense of seriousness, and are merely pandering to their emotionally motivated base.
They are openly in pursuit of raw, naked power, and should be treated as such, not a fellow citizens with a good faith disagreement.
No more “compromises”. Larry Pratt was right in the 90s, compromise is just a slow death.

1000% is ten times the sales price. A $1000 AR would cost $11,000.

You have that backwards. Obamacare supporters argued it wasn't a tax, and Roberts said it was.

Roberts said a tax meant to punish was just fine.

Did he say that explicitly, or did he twist it to mean that the tax paid for the underprivileged to get coverage?
I know what you mean, and you know what I mean, so there is no point in jousting over this.
