So what about AK-47s? Does the tax apply to those? Or M-16s?


right? I was thinking the same

So it only applies to 5.56? And not the much more powerful 7.62? Lol

Such a retarded virtue signaling idea from the Dems

1. That's racist.
2. I’m beginning to feel infringed upon.

Yeah this isn’t taxation without representation or excessive taxing or any of the other stuff America was founded to put an end to.

Sounds like we are back to where we started and need to water that tree of liberty again.

We'll trade you 1 Manchin for a Chaney and Romney.

Gun control dressed up enough for reconciliation, they really do want to start a war.

shite like this proves what I've been saying for a while now. Most people don't give a shite about actual gun crime in this country. They only care because their heart strings are being pulled by a rare, comparatively speaking, "mass shooting". Again, only when the gun crime clashes with "civilized" society do they actually take notice. The rest is acceptable to most all of them.

Call me when your emotional outrage doesn't have such obvious limits, then we'll talk.

And before long, a single-shot .22 will be legislated as an assault rifle.

If a political mindset can turn bees into fish and transform equal rights for gay couples into kindergarten field trips at drag shows, it's an easy subterfuge.

Yes. Let's worry about this instead of a baby formula shortage, skyrocketing energy prices, massive inflation, and increasing fears of an incoming depression.

Right, because taxing people that are purchasing legally will lead to less people using them illegally. I wonder where they come up with this shite.

It sounds like they are trying to put the tax on anything that's "scary" looking - so that would include everything.
