When Democrat Joe Biden initially posted his gun control scheme online several months ago, he talked about banning future sale of so-called “assault weapons” and “large capacity magazines,” and regulating the ones already owned under the National Firearms Act requiring payment of a federal tax on every item.
Now the full potential cost of such a program has been revealed by a Washington Free Beacon analysis, and the bill could come to $34 billion. |

When the NFA was passed in the 1930s, owners of Thompsons and B.A.R.s had to register them, but they DID NOT pay the $200 tax, since it was a TRANSFER TAX. Only if they were sold did the BUYER have to pay the $200 tax (about $3,000 in today's money).
How does Biden think he can apply a TRANSFER TAX to guns already own?
How does he think magazines can be taxed the same way, or registered, as they have no serial numbers??
Yes it is ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
But I'm still asking ........ |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
