“to require$200 taxes
The reason for the law is all about the money.”
Not really.
They made almost no money on the $200 tax stamps, the tax was so high as to be prohibitive. Back in 1934 when the law was passed, $200 was the equivalent of $4,000 today.
Almost no one paid it.
It was not about the money. It was about control
To statists, power and control are far more important than money. That is why the old media is willing to go bankrupt rather than sell to a conservative.
The NRA helped enact the 1934 NFA.
