A new bill to reduce gun violence aims to hit would-be weapons buyers where it hurts — in the wallet.

Bill that would slap $100 tax onto gun sales, put money towards mental health programs heads to Congress
Those who don’t report weapons stolen from their homes will be hit with a $10,000 penalty.
What if you have 50 or 100 guns and do not even know one is missing until weeks or months later?
Clearly Unconstitutional.
mental health and CONgre$$
oxymoron/
This has exactly no chance of passing Congress.
Yeah, right! THAT would certainly be money down the Dem Rabbithole!
Those who don’t report weapons stolen from their homes will be hit with a $10,000 penalty
Weasel bastards! That’s for when they come to confiscate guns and you tell them it was stolen or lost it!
Please no pictures of Nydia Velazquez
I am thinking a $10,000 tax on abortion procedures !
What does she mean by “mental health”? Teaching kids that they should get a transgender operation?
Liberals disgust me. This law is both immoral and unconstitutional. Anyone who votes for it is dead to me.
If this tyrant Nydia Velazquez thinks this bill will pass she’d best enroll in a mental health program.
So we can’t have a poll tax because it interferes with our right to vote but....
Who’s the Ferengi?
How will they know that you have had a gun stolen and not reported it if not for a national database of guns and owners and periodic inspections?
Thanks , I don’t think she knows what , “Bill” means
Massive civil disobedience.
I am just wondering how all these fines and penalties do not constitute a bill of attainder?
“Bill that would slap $100 tax onto gun sales, put money towards mental health programs heads to Congress”
The title should read “Democrats plan to steal $100 with each gun sale and give the money to Democrat party aligned NGOs as a political slush fund”
Like the cigarette money went to health matters? Not here in NYS it didn’t.
