Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
1000% Tax on Guns
https://thehill.com/news/house/35126...style-weapons/
As a way around an outright ban, Rep. Don Beyer proposes a 1000% tax on "assault weapons". This legislation would only need 50 Senate votes.
I am certain there could be a way to apply this to accessories such as magazines and of course ammo.
Surprising he didn't propose the ammo tax first, along with ammo purchase background checks.

Hmm. Openly discriminating against poor people while catering to the rich. Nice.
Yeah, this has zero chance of going anywhere.
The current changes that are being discussed with the "bi-partisan" group in congress are funding for state level red flag laws, funding for mental health services and funding for school security. There is no discussion of any assault weapon or other firearms bans

No discussion??

This includes popular policies such as repealing permitless carry, passing universal background checks, implementing red flag laws, enacting safe storage laws, and keeping weapons of war on the battlefield by preventing their sale in our communities."

Joe Biden has urged for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines after a series of mass shootings that stunned America, demanding: ?How much more carnage are we willing to accept??

Taxing a Constitutionally protected Right?
SCOTUS has already set a precedence on such activities.
Not gonna happen.
At this stage the D are throwing every pile of shit at the wall they can hoping something will stick.
The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...
Gun Control - seeking a Hardware solution for a Software problem...
At this point the specter of a shooting is about all they have left to scare the soccer moms with. The Ds have to appear to be doing something. The question is how relevant will any action appear versus the ouch at the check out register and gas pump.
Yup, I can hear them now:
We are paying $20.00 a gallon and a steak is $45.00 but they got those scary guns out of………..What!? Another shooting at (insert school, mall, church etc)…..that’s not supposed to happen!??
Idiots

Gay marriage happened. Women in combat happened. Non gender birth certificates, driver's licenses and passports happened.

Bees are fish happened.
Never say something can't happen when the left is involved.
Perhaps I could have used another word than discussion but the group in congress that is supposedly working together to get a bill that might get enough people to sign on to has already stated that there will be no bans on firearms.. Everyone else can "discuss" what they want but it's not happening.
Everything is pointing towards encouraging state level red flag laws, mental health and school.security.

Kinda like paying $200 to transfer ownership of a silencer or rifle / shotgun with a short barrel. Or some other guns that shoot fast.
Not prohibited just taxed.
You just add stuff to the NFA registry list. No need to go through Congress to do that.
Making good people helpless won't make bad people harmless.
