The left is always looking for ways to suppress and limit our Constitutional rights….ESPECIALLY when it comes to the Second Amendment. So it comes to no surprise that House Democrats have come up with yet another legislation to target firearms that they refer to as “assault weapons.”
The legislation introduced on Friday by Democrat Rep. Don Beyer, and 24 other Democrats, proposes a 1,000 percent excise tax on “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines, including the AR-15.
"House Democrats put forward legislation Friday that would slap "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines with a 1,000% excise tax, a change that would raise the price of a $500 weapon to $5,000 in a bid to reduce access to guns across the country."https://t.co/UF5Oj9SQTb

It’s funny to me how the left always uses the term “assault weapon” to try and make a rifle sound scarier than it actually is. I don’t know about you, but none of my so-called assault weapons have ever jumped up and assaulted anyone. My kids’ legos though, those might be considered assault weapons. Not my AR-15.
Breitbart reports:
The imposition would force the price of a $500 firearm to jump to $5,000 and “a weapon that normally costs $2,000 would force customers to pay more than $20,000.”
The push for new taxes on AR-15s and other firearms was put forward one day after Democrats sent a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R), urging him to allow votes on gun control.
Breitbart News noted the letter to McCarthy came after the House recessed early without taking up any gun control.
The letter stated, “We are disappointed that Republican leadership cancelled votes in July with so many pressing issues facing our country. Foremost amongst those is the gun violence crisis that is the leading cause of death for children in America.”

They really want you to have to pay $20,000 just to get a $2,000 rifle. That is absolutely BONKERS….And the fact that they are upset that Republicans don’t support it is even more insane.
This would be a good time to take out the Gadsden flag and show these politicians that Americans do not consent to our Constitutional rights being toyed with. As Christopher Gadsden first said, “Don’t tread on me.”
These people are not qualified to make laws. They validate their oath every day. just more examples of domestic enemies of the constitution.
Then we should add an excise tax on the Demo crats and Rino’s because they are all assault weapons.
I wonder how many even care anymore about anything they propose to do ? All they are actually good at is lying and stealing and covering up those activities. They could care less about what you think unless it falls in line with what they tell you to think or else!
