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

U.S. Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez is introducing a bill that would slap every gun sale with a $100 tax, and then use the extra money on anti-violence and mental health programs.

The Singapore solution. Libtards have to go. Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, we don’t care. Pick one.

I love that idea.

If leftists want socialized medicine, they can go to Cuba for the medicine that their fat movie-making hero celebrates.

If leftists love big government, they can go to North Korea for the government that makes all decisions for the little people, just the way they want it to be.

If leftists want socialist control over the economy, they can go to Venezuela to see what equality looks like when producers are punished and those who produce nothing are rewarded the same as everyone else.

They would claim to like each of those options, and we would finally be rid of their evil . . . until the foolishness popped up again among our young and ignorant.

We need to have a law that classifies the filing of gun control bills as treason, and voting for gun control bills as a felony.

My question is why does the law ask for “intent” in virtually everything except those things related to guns?

I have a carry license and live in eastern PA. If I miss an exit on the highway and wind up in NJ by accident, am I a criminal? Of course not but that is not how the law sees it. And that needs to change.

This congressperson is yet another affirmative action backbencher who should be cleaning someone’s house. Can she read...the Constitution?

There is already a 10 percent federal excise tax on handguns, 11 percent on long guns and ammunition.

Yes, I know. Those should also be illegal, as they are unconstitutional. If there cannot be a poll tax to exercise the right to vote, there should also be no taxes on the exercise of the right to keep and bear arms.
