concealable firearm tax

[Wreaver]

Looks like a new bill (HR793) has been introduced to tax concealable weapons while also creating a firearms buyback program.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose an excise tax on concealable firearms and to require the Attorney General to establish a firearms buyback grant program. (H.R. 793) - GovTrack.us

I could be wrong, but I do not see this moving out of committee. Especially since only the democrats are the ones that signed it. Leave it to the liberals to want to tax more to spend more.

I would agree. Just thought it was worth putting out.

Yeah, this one's going nowhere.

Prognosis 1% chance of getting past committee.
0% chance of being enacted.
Only 11% of House bills made it past committee and only 2% were enacted in 2011–2013. [show factors | methodology]

SCOTUS has said that the states can't impose a poll tax because voting is a fundamental right... Then they said Obamacare is not a fine, but a tax, imposed at the federal level, which makes it okay. Could the feds impose a poll tax under that illogic? If so, then there's nothing in the ethos of SCOTUS standing in the way of taxing every firearm at 100% of its book value per year.

Would our elected representatives have to pay a tax on their ccw?

 

[CathyInBlue]

It's only for us peons. If you're employed by the nobility, you'd doubtless be exempted.

Haha, whatever the SCOTUS or Constitution says doesn't mean squat to a liberal, because they would just re-interpret it, or simply reword their bad bill.

Well, if that's the case, firearms would suddenly become a lot less expensive.

The part that you put between quotations. Other than that they are pretty clear on it.
