Senator Reid’s New Tax on Guns

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) wants to tax your gun rights. His new legislation charges you a fee that is in essence a federal tax on selling or giving away your firearm, and he lets Attorney General Eric Holder decide how big that tax will be."...

They love those taxes. Of coarse they will exempt themselves from all the gun control bills.

I tried to think of something to say but everything I could think of would either be used against me in court or used to paint me as a delusional gun nut who went crazy and killed his dog.

If you can't control it tax it ...

How in the heck did that guy ever get a high grade from the NRA? HOW?

We need a senator to draft up a political "ignorance or neglect" tax in which the government itself is taxed for passing ignorant bills that never work & only result in costing the country even more money or raising taxes on the people without any improvements from said taxes. No one outside political figures who signed for those bills would be taxed & the rate of tax would be so high they would wanna leave office.

OR


What we need is that each Senator and Representative would be required to get a $10,000,000,000,000(trillion) liabilty insurance policy to cover all US Citizens against effects of the negligent/slipshod/moronic/socialist legislation that they ram down our throats. The President and each member of his administration would be required to get $100,000,000,000,000(trillion) liabilty insurance policies for the same reasons.

I thought all tax or revenue had to come from the US House of Rep?? I don't think the Senate can even do this without the House

There are reps in the US house who are now standing up and saying that this will automatically make this bill DOA in the house.

A part of me wonders if Reid is loading up this bill with garbage so that it gets filibustered. With the rating he got from the NRA (and yes they have been known to be wrong before but still) I'm thinking that he might want this thing to go down in flames because having it come to a vote in the senate will put several dem senators on record which would seriously hurt their reelection campaigns in 2014 and possibly 2016.
