And the hits just keep on coming..... Folks ...we have to stay ever vigilant, because the loonie left will NEVER stop the lunacy. Call your reps immediately! Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-NY., said the measure would reduce the number of guns in circulation and providing needed funding for programs aimed at reducing violence. The legislation will be introduced in the U.S. House this week. www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2015/11/100_tax_on_every_gun_congressw.htmlThis bill WILL NOT.....I repeat it WILL NOT stop violence; whether by guns or not, all this bill will accomplish is to provide a 'slush fund' for those who have other things they'd like to do with it. I'm betting that it will be similiar in how the state lotteries are managed and were promoted in helping to fund school districts..... This is just another grab at guns and it's about control; plain and simple. They pass the law and will control the ability of average Joe to buy a gun, while using his 'extra' tax of $100/weapon, to fund more anti-gun propoganda. But wait~ There's more!!! The "Reducing Gun Violence in Our Neighborhoods Act" would also strengthen the reporting requirements related to lost or stolen guns and establish a national database of missing weapons. It would also require all gun owners to report any stolen weapons within 48 hours or face a $10,000 penalty.

I heard about this recently and was completely appalled. For a family that is struggling, $100 is a lot of money. Not to mention the fact that both the gun and the ammo is already taxed. Incrementalism at work here. $100 now, then $500, then $1000 then....what?

In true liberal form, Rep Velazguez is trying to exhibit her "caring", no matter the stupidity of her idea. The whole thing is dead on arrival, but there will be some politicians wanting to showboat their progressive credentials in joining her. It's sort of disheartening to know there are enough people to vote them into office and leave them there.

More taxes will only fuel an underground economy.
