1,000 Percent Tax Increase On ‘Assault Weap

House Democrat Proposes 1,000 Percent Tax Increase On ‘Assault Weapons’​

New AR-15-style guns cost anywhere from $500 to over $2,000 depending on location, NBC News reported. That means a 1,000% tax on the weapons would add $5,000 to $20,000 to their final sales prices — and would probably keep them out of reach from many younger Americans.

As someone pointed out in another thread about this, this would be struck down in the courts. If it passes, and it almost certainly won't.

Sometimes politician reasoning is "there's no way I can get this passed, but I can tell my constituents I TRIED to do SOMETHING."

Won't happen. It's a racist bill. Makes it unaffordable to a particular socioeconomic group.

This however shows they are trying to do anything to get around 60 votes or the people's awareness of how government works. God save the filibuster rules. Don't be surprised if the repubs ignore the filibuster. Remember Sandy Hook and the legislation afterwards? It would have only taken a simple majority.



The first First two minutes are telltale. Was not a 60% vote.

Take this round of a push towards gun control seriously. Call your senators and congressman.

I say let us tax abortion procedures 1,000 percent. It will save 10,000 of lives. Common sense abortion laws.
