The measure would place exemptions on recreational weapons used for hunting as well as ammunition. The law would not retroactively apply to tens of millions of AR-15s that are estimated to be circulating around the United States.
In an attempt to define what would be taxed, the bill says it would apply to “semiautomatic assault weapon[s],” which are semiautomatic rifles that have the capacity to use a magazine that isn’t a fixed magazine, a pistol grip, a forward grip, and a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock. Other items that fall under that definition include a semiautomatic rifle with a barrel shroud, a threaded barrel, and a “functional grenade launcher.”

Where is the “but we can tax them to oblivion” exception to the “shall not be infringed” clause of the US Constitution?
I can’t seem to find it.

These people are ignorant lunatics. None of the characteristics mentioned have anything to do with a bullet exiting the barrel.

What part of the word “infringed” do they not get?

I read once the average price of an AR-15 is $1,250.00. 1,250.00 * 1000 = $1,250,000.00. Clearly un-Constitutional.
Wonder how many Cross-the-Aisle RINOs would be onboard with this “compromise”. Someone call Cornyn, Collins, Murkowski, Romney, etc...and ask them.

A thousand dollar weapon will then cost a million.
This tax is prohibitive, punitive, seemingly like a bill of attainder.
I think it violates the Constitution.
