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.
Breitbart News reported that the Associated Press emerged from the hearings completely aghast the gun industry profits from selling guns

Ok in response too the ar15 tax I propose a 15 percent tax on all Hollywood movie and broadcast TV revenue and a 30 percent tax above and beyond normal income tax on income of college and university professors and administrators..
Sauce for the goose. . .
Typical rat BS just put “fairness” in the name of any bill and that makes it a good bill.
She wouldn’t recognize an assault rifle if it was shoved up her you know where. Not a bad idea.
But I’m sure the IRS won’t care when they purchase those evil AR-15’s to keep the citizens in line.
Yeah, it’s essentially a bill of attainder.
Whats the actual law that allows you to attack this particular industry? Piss off beotch.
Will someone please notify me the day they find something good about any Marxist democrat politician these days.
Manchin and Sinema showed promise but they folded on the last green new deal giving us an extra 800B debt and 87k potential armed civilian army in the IRS.
Follow your “dei” push. Include any and everything used in a crime. From tennis shoes by nike, Gucci t-shirt, brand of transportation........ Equity is equity. Otherwise, phu cough
It will harass, bother, and annoy patriotic Americans.
And also probably lead to mass black market production in private warehouses and basements. People don’t want to be controlled and they know what’s coming...freedom loving peoples will eventually have no other choice.
You can take any bill title proposed by Democrats and assume the opposite.
Fat Jerry Nadler is a dead man walking, even with his lap-band surgery. He couldn’t even kneel down with Nancy and the other Democrat cucks who showed their support for George Floyd when they knelt down in tribute to him wearing African Kente Cloth scarves. He could only stand.
Law? I’d like her to cite the Constitutionally enumerated power that allows it. For extra credit, maybe she could cite a Constitutional source forbidding it.
Well l have good news and bad news. The good news is after the NY primary the disgusting Nadler or this woman will be gone which leaves us with the bad news.
20% on Revenue?
Not on profit?
How about a tax on SCUBA gear, commonly used to retrieve items lost in boating accidents.
