DIMS want to tax gun dealers 1000% on assault weaons

Biden Mulls Exec Order End Run of 2A as House Dems Push 1,000% Excise Tax on 'Assault Weapons,' High-Capacity Mags

As a new federal edict could come down that vastly changes the definition of a gun dealer, House Democrats are pushing to slap a massive tax on what they term “assault weapons.”

On Friday, 25 House Democrats proposed a 1,000 percent excise tax on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines, according to Fox News.

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia and 24 other Democrats. Republicans control the House with a narrow majority.

The NY Times said the new provision “could set a threshold number of transactions that would define a dealer; gun-control groups hope to see it at five sales a year or lower. The rules will be backed up by a renewed push to prosecute businesses that refuse to register, by accessing bank records, storage unit leases and other expenses associated with running an off-the-books gun business.”

All of this was gleefully supported by the gun control group Giffords, set up by former Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, as well as Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.
