Democrats propose tax hike on guns, ammo weeks before midterm elections

Democrats believe that raising taxes on firearms, and seeking to ban some of them, is a political winner for them as the midterm elections approach.

Something to read fully, including a $200 transfer tax. I have to re-read before commenting on that.

This is the "whopper" part:

"Current law also holds that firearm importers and manufacturers must pay an annual tax of $500 or $1,000, depending on the size of the business. Under the Democratic bill, that amount would inflation-adjusted each year, as would the $200 transfer tax that must be paid when a firearm is sold."


Is there a built in cost to sell a firearm retail that currently has a $200 dollar fee or is this not correct? That sounds like an NFA fee, not a retail tax.

And RINOS keep bowing down to them and never have to pay for it. Mitch McConnell being the worst. Has to protect his big contributors.

I worry more everyday, where all this is going. Let's vote like our lives depend on it.

They do. As a retired individual who worked his entire life to enjoy his later years only to run into the last few years is very depressing. I can't say any more because would just get in trouble. Nobody paid off my student loans. The word swamp was too nice for so many of the people in Washington. It is deep like an ocean. Best to all our people in Florida. Out.
