Dem bill would trigger huge new taxes on guns, ammo

A pair of Democratic lawmakers are proposing steep new taxes on handguns and ammunition, and tying the revenues to programs aimed at preventing gun violence.

Called the “Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act," the bill sponsored by William Pascrell, D-N.J., and Danny Davis, D-Ill., would nearly double the current 11 percent tax on handguns, while raising the levy on bullets and cartridges from 11 percent to 50 percent.

"This bill represents a major investment in the protection of our children and our communities, and reflects the long-term societal costs of gun and ammunition purchases in our country,” Pascrell said.

The lawmakers say the bill would generate $600 million per year, which would be used to fund law-enforcement and gun violence prevention

[Logical me]

What f.ing fools. All this will do is increase black market sales to criminals. Democrat communists trash and there are millions of the loose. These two crats are insane.

Go to hell, you stupid ass, Democrats!!! Go to hell!

I’m sick of their s***!

[AD from SpringBay]

I’m thinking distraction on this... nice way to divert attention and energy from other matters.

[rfp1234]

...The lawmakers say the bill would generate $600 million per year...

So they'd rather impose a ludicrous tax, than deprive the U.S. Royal Family of half of their annual vacations.

[Track9]

What about the ‘societal cost’ of demoCrap marxism..

[MeshugeMikey]

gee if... a few Obama Cacations were sequestered we could SAVE that amoumt of money

[CGASMIA68]

great composite...lots of usefull sites

[bandleader]

A DONE DEAL!!They ALWAYS go after the law-abiding gun owners.Probably because we OBEY the law and because we’re an easy,.reliable source of cash to fund their STUPI ambitions!!Why don’t they go and see THE GANGS??????????

[vette6387]

Two aging Congressional duffuses, One white, the other Black, just trying to get noticed. Even the RINOs won’t vote for this turd!

[LachlanMinnesota]

I suggest a per word tax of $10.00 on all members of the House and Senate and a $100.00 tax per word from the President or his mouthpiece.

This should make for a far more lucrative tax for the government.

Also, $1,000.00 for every golf hole played by Obama to help defray vacation expenses.

What is the President’s maximum budget for vacations? Does it come out of his salary? He never meets with foreign dignitaries, so maybe he robs that fund to pay for his golf.

[duffee]

Self defense for the elite and wealthy kind of reminds you of the old democrat gun control program “No Guns for Negros”.

[rawhide]

No worry. The Republicans in the House will never allow this bill to pass.

[LibLieSlayer]

“SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” SO FOAD RATS!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Somebody should jump all over these guys for “wanting to disarm the poor and minorities”, pointing out that the KKK traditionally tried to disarm black people and the poor by legalizing only expensive guns they could not afford.

Ask them if they are ‘K’ with that?

[duffee]

There should be NO tax on safety, self defense, and anything used to obtain and hone shooting skills. Read my tagline.

[ha maker]

Ping for later.

[TexasRepublic]

It’s a darn shame that tar and feathers are no longer in vogue.
