Back Again -Dems propose new taxes on guns and bullets

[PJM]

Two Democratic congressmen have just proposed new legislation that would "...nearly double the current 11 percent tax on handguns, while raising the levy on bullets and cartridges from 11 percent to 50 percent...."

Last time I suggested we remain vigilant to rebuff legislation which diminishes our constitutional rights I was called a scaremonger and a tin-foil person. We need to remain vigilant.

I don't disagree that we need to remain vigilant and pay attention but this is nothing new by any stretch. Daniel Patrick Moynahan  (D NY) proposed this kind of crap in the early nineties. He wanted a 500% tax on ammo and his famous battle call was "we'll tax them out of existence". That never happened. Diane Fineswine proposes her notorious gun and ammo ban every year and it never happens either. You wonder why congress gets nothing done don't just blame the R's because the D's waste just as much of our time and money on this crap.

He[[, let's just add a twist to it and add Guns and Ammo to Obamacare ! ! !
It's F'd up enough, so who'd notice this too ? ? ?

Stay in touch with your representatives!  Voice your opinion about "circumventing" the 2nd amendment through taxation, and how that resulted in the FIRST Tea Party.
Support the NRA.

[Stogies]

Yeah, they sure would like that scheme.

Make your voices heard, ladies and gentlemen, or the Lame Stream Media will drown you out.
