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 |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
