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.”

BIDEN WLL WIN GUN SALESMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD !!!!
Naw. It’s the legal kind. 😁
He inherited a thousand rounds of ammo when our father passed away so he thought he might as well get the gun. But it’s taken him almost two years. He lives in a condo in downtown Seattle, so I don’t know exactly how that’s gonna work. 🤣
Actually, a 1000% tax on a $1250 weapon would be $12,500, not $1.25M. For percentages, move the decimal 2 places to the left...
HOW much tax are they applying to fentanyl???
Well, your math is incorrect.
1000% is only 10 times. so $1,250.00 x 10 = $12,500.00.
Still clearly un-Constitutional.
RINOs will gladly go along with this. If Republicans every take back the legislature and White Hut they better undo all of this unconstitutional madness. That means repealing gun control laws. But I doubt that will happen because Republicans are pussies and have no clue how to win.
Taxes have to be "necessary and proper" to the operation of the federal government. Usury taxes are neither necessary nor proper.
Furthermore, taxes meant to punish are bills of attainder, which are also unconstitutional.

He’s going to take the award away from POS Obama.
Did you look in the penumbra?
The primary purpose of the AR-15 is to arm the unorganized militia (we the people) in preparation to water the Tree of Liberty.
Democrats (especially the Rat leaders) fear a free and uncontrolled people, more than anything. This November, we will see if the Tree of Liberty needs to be watered. /spit

It is 10 X 100% of the purchase price.
