Democrat Proposes 1,000% tax On AR-15s that would raise price by up to $20,000

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Stupid as fukk.

Stephen Paddock was a millionaire. This "ban" wouldn't have stopped him

​

What a stupid Idea.





I'd just buy a Mini-14 or any other alternative.

Kinda stupid because many people will just go and buy them now putting even more on the street

All forms of gun control are bad because they still allow guns

Are you happy now? You fukking geniuses?

20M owned by civilian alone

Man that’s fukking ridiculous

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Why not just propose to ban them?

Not enough people will support that.

When a gun is extremely expensive, it filters out the kind of people who can work and save up for one before shooting like that shytstain in Texas did.

Its a half measure but at the very least it will be another barrier to keep these guns away from people who have evil intent.

So basically spur sales over the next couple weeks and create a robust resale market once the law passes
And is the AR-15 the only "assault rifle" type gun on the market? What's stopping manufacturers from just tweaking and rebranding models to loophole whatever the law defines

you'd have to be idiot to put your guns on the street after their value skyrockets by 1000%.
What woud happen is people like myself would stockpile them in advance of the ban, then try to sell them later on.
Essentially AR-15s would become the next PS5/Xbox series x. And everything would be in the hands of scalpers.
And only super rich people would be able to buy them. No need to worry about the street. Any dude using a gun worth 20K+ for criminal purposes would have to be dumb af. Better of selling that shyt instead. There's a reason people don't use tommy guns for mass shootings anymore.

Banning one type of rifle because of the way it looks will not fix the violence problem in America.

Banning AR-15's specifically is dumb because there are literally a ton of other rifles that function the same as the AR-15, some shoot even more damaging rounds, that would still be legal.

Democrats are committed to losing elections at this point. This bicoastal elitist mentality to guns, that the only idea for gun legislation is to restrict access for the poors is going to lose most of the south and midwest.

In other words, only the rich and their security teams would own means of protecting themselves.

Better arm yourself before it's too late.

So you can only protect yourself with an AR?

Man, they gonna make me spend a G on one of these bytches before its too late.

What do you suggest they do that would also have a realistic chance of passing

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Guess since I planned on getting one, I need to do it sooner rather than later.

The tax would also apply to high-capacity magazines that carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition, Business Insider reported, and weapons with one or more military characteristic including a pistol grip, a forward grip, or a folding or telescoping stock—the type of firearms Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., are seeking to ban with legislation introduced in 2021.

And people will just buy these

This is what happens when you draw up laws and don't know shyt about guns. The same as Republicans making abortion laws without knowing shyt about biology.

That’s just one gun. You got thousands of other high powered rifles to buy for cheap

And people will just buy these

Life finds a way

 

[Back&4th]

LMFAO! This just adds more FOMO to ARs, does nothing to illegal sales except make them more valuable.

More people will steal and resell them.

I’m sure there’s loopholes to this “tax” already.

This is white america. Nothing is passing that won’t be revoked soon as the republicans get in….. that’s if it lasts that long before the Supreme Court shoots it down
