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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
