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

Nothing funnier than someone with a 70 IQ trying to deliver a speech while looking all serious.
How ‘bout any/all laws against our gun Rights be applied to voting and abortion?
Let’s see the Liberal heads explode trying that one out for size
Watch the Democrats scream “ Republicans don’t want mentally ill people to get help, they voted a tax that would folks get help”.
Firearm ownership is a God given right, NO POLL TAX, NO TAX on GUNS or AMMUNITION.
These laws generally state that you have to report it within a period from when they were stolen, and you knew they were stolen, or reasonably should have known they were stolen. Several cities in CA have them, none has been declared unconstitutional. Since it doesn’t affect your ability to keep and bear arms, I don’t know what the grounds for a challenge would be.
Poll taxes are illegal. So should the taxes on firearms/ammo.
And so should be the taxes on firearms/ammo.
That is because Mexico has no 2nd Amendment and Mexico has all but outlawed guns. So these Mexican Marxists have seen how well that has worked there and is bringing it here.
Besides, drug cartels and border runners need a little break here and there, too.
I didn't know this had turned into an Obama thread.
There is already a 10 percent federal excise tax on handguns, 11 percent on long guns and ammunition.
Snort!
I’d pay a $100 just to put this leftist bitch in an insane asylum where she belongs.
When, I was getting ready to travel and had to hide the house gun...I selected the place where I’d previously hidden the missing gun...because I was about to travel.
The same thing happens to me...It’s disconcerting and eats up a lot of time? Too many shootinirons is not the problem know that my concern with an increasingly lawless behaviorally bent society is. Tax them not me.
So that’s where the F in FUGLY comes from, thanks.
I have seen better looking hemoroids
U.S. Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez is introducing a bill........
She’s some hideous hidebound hack from NY who I never heard of until now. She’s a back bencher so this bill is going nowhere.
Gun owners should worry about other anti-Second Amendment efforts...
Shouldn’t they charge you a $100 if you Register as a Democrat?
Talk about Mental Illness.
They used to burn witches at the stake.
Do the poor get a voucher/subsidy so they aren’t disenfranchised from owning a gun?
Who in God’s name votes these degenerates into Congress?
