Joe Biden Wants a Huge New Tax on Gun Owners
When it rains ,it pours and we are not talking about salt shakers! This proposal plus monetizing all the debt we have created or will in the near future & then thinking no one will notice is going to push us all over the cliff in my opinion.

First, he wants to stop the “gun violence epidemic” with restriction on rifles when it is handgun shootings, not rifles, that are a problem and one that is mostly confined to big cities controlled by leftists. Second, he wants to go after “assault weapons” and “weapons of war” when he should know that rifles like the AK and AR “sporters” are not military-grade fully automatic weapons. Third, he would like to hold gun manufacturers civilly liable for criminal acts committed with guns, a move which would shut down the industry, the true goal. In support of the government’s buyback program, i.e., the carrot, Biden has added a gun tax for anyone who wishes to keep their rifles and high-capacity magazines. If you want to avoid the buyback and keep your guns and high-capacity (greater than ten rounds) magazine, you would have to register both under the National Firearms Act, which triggers a $200 tax for each rifle and magazine—the stick. The stick behind the stick is a penalty of up to ten years in federal prison and a $10,000 fine. Registration involves filling out a thirteen-page registration form and providing fingerprints and a photograph of yourself.

Registration requires providing fingerprints and a photograph of yourself?
Okay. Let's make the same requirement for voting.
Goose meet gander.
Sure right after Congress allows 50 million refugees in the country under a U,N mandate. Done deal.

That seems like a totally legitimate news source.
I will not comply, P-E-R-I-O-D.
do not comply
Wonder if that includes double barrel shotguns?
If they shut down the manufacture of firearms, who will make them for the military and police etc? Or will it be a government run facility? If so, the back door deals will still happen, especially under a government run facility.
Maybe they could hold the criminal liable? Just a thought.
Holding the criminal liable is too logical. It's easier to blame the millions of law abiding gun owners for the actions of a few.
Ever since Obummer coined the phrase 'gun violence' they have used it vigorously. A more apt expression would be 'drug violence'. If they could get a handle on the drug trade in this country, violence would drop exponentially.
Drugs will never go away.. to much money involved..
That Firearm Tax, will have to go through the House and Senate, if I am not mistaken. (And) How are they going to Prove who owns what? Go door to door? That might (a'hem) Inflame things more than they would like. (Or choose to believe.) [And] Will only be imposed on the Law Abiding.
It will not be as simple as Biden signing an "Executive Order." (I believe he signed 28-30 in his 1st two days in Office.) That should show you where is bent lies, in term of Governance and "Cooperation" between Party's in order to accomplish his Agenda.
I personally believe that the option of an "Executive Order" should be removed from the Office of the Presidency for BOTH Party's. Go through the Legislative Branch as intended, or go twist in the wind.
Holding the criminal liable is too logical
Its also raycist.
Once Firearms "Registration" goes Door to Door - that will be your sign.
What that "Sign" means to you, is open for interpretation.
I know what it means to me.
