Hillary wants 25% Tax on Guns!

[MSA77]

I know this article is from April, but Ole' Cankles just made it part of her official platform. This article: http://www.atr.org/full-list-hillary...nned-tax-hikes, is from today, and lists all her tax increases, which account to a Trillion dollars, over ten years, using her campaign's own math. It backlinks to the gun tax, which I used as the main link.

It's been tried on the state level in the Left Coast before.

Defeated by the State legislature?

Hey hitlery, how about taxing through hefty fines all the convicted murders who used firearms in committing their crimes. No, you wouldn't do that, that makes sense.

Defeated. Don't know who's taken credit for it.

Also keep in mind that, since 1937, every single new gun (and every box of ammo) sold in this country already has had an 11% excise tax applied to it for the Pittman-Robertson tax. Another 25% is completely unreasonable.

I think I might prefer to see a 25% tax on abortions first. After all they are a Constitutional Right, the right to keep and bear arms is not.

Correct me if I am wrong, but i believe every last cent of that money goes toward pro conservation type stuff. Not that I am in favor of pricier guns, but i think Pittman Robertson is apples and oranges with that dried up old twats proposal.

Yep that's her main plan to fix the 21 trillion deficit shes a genius.

Yes, you are correct. Pittman Robertson is one of the few taxes I don't mind paying. It pays for us to have access to 600+ million acres of public land. And by federal government standards it is very well run. But it's still a tax. And for this 'dried up old twat' to consider adding a second tax on top of it is absurd.
