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..
Holding the criminal liable is too logical
Its also raycist.
