House Oversight Committee chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is pushing legislation that levies a 20 percent tax on AR-15 makers’ revenue.
The legislation is called the Firearms Industry Fairness Act.
NBC News reports the levy would “impose a 20% tax on the total revenue earned by manufacturers who produce assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
Maloney tweeted about the legislation on August 22:
My Firearm Industry Fairness Act will tax assault weapons manufacturers 20% off ALL revenue and my Firearm Industry Crime and Trafficking Accountability Act will prohibit the selling of guns to retailers if selling leads to a high risk of criminal activity. https://t.co/e2jOz6jDOH

Maloney’s push to place additional taxes on AR-15 and “high capacity” magazine manufacturers comes after the House Oversight Committee’s July 27, 2022, hearings in which they questioned the CEOs of Daniel Defense and Sturm, Ruger & Co.

How about a permanent tax free holiday on guns ad ammo because the people are now required to defend ourselves given the high crime associated with Dem policies.
Every day, about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that's one person every 45 minutes.
In 2020, 11,654 people died in alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths — a 14% increase from 2019.
But I guess a 20% tax on the auto industry wouldn't go over very well...
So are their filthy voters.
How about huge taxes on politicians.
The frog faced hag should GFH.
Many current (and potential) victims endorse this as a source for covering their expenses from such violence. It cuts out the middle men (lawyers).
Yea...how bout a tax on every murder by gun in a movie, on moviemaker? How bout a tax on every politicians armed guard?
So when PDJT sings the praises of Maloney, he’s kidding, right? Trolling?
How about a 50% tax on Congress Critters
Why not a 110% tax on income of demorats that support such heinous assaults on our Constitution?
Most good Americans will find a way to stockpile a just in case stash with vile threats like this made by this butter bottom self serving public servant.
How ‘bout a 90% tax on the income of elected officials over and above their government salaries?
Democrats believe that their fair share of all you earn and own is 100%
Firearms Industry Fairness Act.
Once again, the name is the OPPOSTIE of what it does.
Because only the rich, and thier bodyguards should be able to afford AR-15s.
Sounds like a bill of attainder (thus, unconstitutional).
ARs are amazingly cheap, given their accuracy and reliability, which is why they are so popular. (Please don’t tell the Communists about that.)
Makes no difference if our gutless RINO’s do nothing to contest it! And we know they are good at doing nothing!
If they could tax stupidity at 20% we’d resolve the national debt in a couple days.
AR manufacturers would gain standing to take it to the courts.
