What is this I hear TAXES $$$XXXXX

[swampratt]

I just heard the new guy is wanting to tax ammo and reloading components 200%.
and Guns 50%.
I do not like to hear that stuff.

But many years ago it was discussed here and other places that the higher ups would probably
tax our sport until no one could afford to play.

Fast pistol powders and cast bullets will keep you going on the cheap.
Do not forget the primers!!!!

I have a dandy 100gr cast powder coated Red dot load for .308 that does not even change the size of the .308 case.
So that .308 brass case should last indefinitely or until it turns green and gets pitted.

I shot 1 case 10 times and still the same size.
Yes 100 gr ..I am trying to save lead also as that is another costly item.

I think it could easily be found to be unconstitutional as it is taxing the ability to exercise a right guaranteed in the Constitution/BoR. No different than a tax on voting or a tax on speech.

Eff 'em and feed 'em fishheads.

Nothing like a little FUD to help the supply chain.

wouldn't be surprised if the rinos will let it go through disguised in another bill

The Biden plan as I heard it, was a $200 tax like a NFA weapon on any semi-auto weapon AND any mag that holds more than 10 rounds.

The problem with any tax on firearms is that they will be challenged in court for discriminating against lower income tiers that would not be able to pay a tax (on a right).

There is already an excise tax and sales tax on ammo and guns. So, I’m not sure about a tax being unconstitutional if it goes through Congress and becomes law. I think it would have to be fought through the court system on other merits.

Have no fear, the NRA will be right on top of it.

I might be worried if I had any guns...

I'm saying it would be easily demonstrable that this is a punitive tax with the express purpose of restricting the exercise of a guaranteed right.
