Congress proposes 50% tax on guns and ammunition in the US

[Miker12]

Congress is considering a bill to require citizens to apply for a federal license before being able to purchase a firearm.

And the government would have the authority to deny a license, even if the applicant has no criminal history or mental health issues.

That makes this essentially a nationwide “red flag law.” The government can deny or revoke a license if they arbitrarily deem you to be a problem.

The proposed law would also tax firearms at 30% and ammunition at 50%.

Meanwhile, March saw record firearm sales.

The FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System processed 3.7 million background checks required to buy firearms. That is the highest month on record since the system began in 1998.

I'm surprised it wasn't 50% on Guns and 1000% on ammo if a dumocrap proposed.

Just a firm reminder that no matter what is happening, the liberals are still getting paid to try to disarm you.

All this does is get the sponsors some attention, and from there money from Bloombug et all. They know it will not go anywhere, we also know that but it is just advertising for them.

Economically Discriminatory, exactly what they howled when it was proposed everyone needed a Drivers License to vote, the Left screamed that certain classes of people couldn't afford it.
