Would be challenged in the courts for (as tRidiot stated) restricting a right to those who could not afford a tax on firearms "in common use".

.... and I'm absolutely certain SCOTUS will stand up for our rights.
Right ?
Right ?
That was the purpose of the NFA in 1934 in the first place. Those were the days of Al Capone and Bonnie and Clyde. Anyone could buy a machine gun over the counter if you could afford it. The tax was set at $200.00 per gun to keep them out of the hands of the general public. People were digging ditches for $1.00 a day trying to feed their families. Only the rich could afford the tax AND the gun.
Since the machine gun ban of 1986 the prices have skyrocketed. An M-16 that could be bought or built on a Form-1 was about $400.00 plus the tax. Now they’re around $25-30k. Where are the lawsuits when that happened?
And who’s going to stop “them”? The US Supreme Court? Is that the one that just let us down a couple of days ago by not granting a hearing on a clearly unconstitutional violation of voting laws in PA and other states for the 2020 election? Or is the one that ruled obammycare a tax, when it was not passed as a tax?
Because I’m thinking if you’re counting on them to help with ANYTHING then don’t be surprised when they don’t.
Is that why the put the wall up?
If “walls don’t work”, why’d they waste time and money erecting one around the capitol?
Confusing how some views change as often as the wind.
This is my exact thought.
Same here.
From what I read on this bill it is $800 per year to own a gun. This part seems racist to me because of the people it will hurt the most.
