An op-ed published by the Washington Post explains Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Bidens proposed gun controls would be terrible for working class firearm owners.
The Post op-ed, written by Kim Kelly, notes Biden is pushing numerous gun controls, one of which would require owners of assault weapons to register those firearms with the government, while paying a $200 tax on each.
The tax that would be administered is the outworking of the National Firearms Act (1934). That Act currently governs the sale of machine guns, suppressors, short barrel rifles, and other Class III weapons only.

Now, there is a law Trump needs to vacate.
I don’t see where fooling around with packed pop bottles on a 22LR rifle should be regulated.

There is already a 10-11 month backlog for suppressors, adding millions of semi automatic rifles would break the ATF.

No. Start shooting.
That would be the response immediately.

That would be as much of an infringement on gun owning as the poll tax was on voting...

My weapons never assaulted anyone, and they won’t be registered with the government or surrendered as long as I breathe.

There are 638,000 NFA guns in America. There are very roughly 20 million so called assault rifles in America. It would take 4 or 5 years to process an application.
This one will be disobeyed.

The article also mentions a $200 tax for each ‘high capacity magazine’. What special type of stupid dreams this crap up?

You have to have laws to obey laws. The left have thrown that out the window. Who’s gonna collect it?
To: knighthawk
Oh yeah, like people are going to rush to do that.
And I’m sure the BLM folks will claim those taxes are too high and hurt poor black people disportionately.

Don’t be fooled by the Defund the Police nuts. They will replace with SJW public safety officers who will do the enforcement.

If the left can scare up millions to spring protestor criminals, then the Conservatives can spare some small change for people who want to keep their fire arms.

“This one will be disobeyed.”
One of the easiest ways would be for people to “sell” their rifles (to their best friend, brother, etc.), and who in turn “sells” theirs to you. Yes, they can be customized and each one is just a bit different, but the essentially mechanism is exactly the same, so a trade like this is very doable. This way, people will not own the firearm for which they filled out a 4473. There will be MASSIVE non-compliance, so much that it will make the non-compliance during Prohibition look like a joke.

There is already a 10-11 month backlog for suppressors, adding millions of semi automatic rifles would break the ATF. Since no transfer would be approved until ATF gave blessings, that would be a feature, not a bug, of the new system.

Holy Cow! If you were on the fence about voting for Trump or Biden, Biden’s anti-gun proposals should wake you up to vote for President Trump. Biden is ready to make every honest and legal gun owner a criminal or tax evader. His proposals will not take one gun out of a criminal or terrorist hands. Opposing government tyranny would be a suicide mission as we would be unarmed and killed.
