The recent string of high-profile shootings in the US is prompting one House Democrat to draft a measure designed to severely restrict access to the AR-15-style weapons used by gunmen in the carnage. Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia, a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, wants to impose a 1,000% excise tax on such semiautomatic rifles. "What it's intended to do is provide another creative pathway to actually make some sensible gun control happen," Beyer told Insider. "We think that a 1,000% fee on assault weapons is just the kind of restrictive measure that creates enough fiscal impact to qualify for reconciliation." New AR-15-style guns cost anywhere from $500 to over $2,000 depending on location, NBC News reported. That means a 1,000% tax on the weapons would add $5,000 to $20,000 to their final sales prices — and would probably keep them out of reach from many younger Americans. www.yahoo.com/news/house-democrat-plans-introduce-bill-124000738.html

Insane measure to continue to remove freedoms! There are already enough safety measures in place!
Rant on: Someone may join military, go to war, learn to smoke, drink alcohol, lose the faith in a loving God, (that they were raised with), and be sexually active ~ as I know re veterans for Vietnam went through …
come home & be told no underage drinking, smoking, etc, as they are only 19 yrs old … but they’ve already survived & lived a life time for a year or more in Vietnam, and seen friends killed, and are still grieving many years later, etc
Now will having to be drafted or whatever age be raised to over 21, too? No of course not! This is insane, as our Republic continues to be torn down in the enemy’s game plan …
Rant off
“…But God is sovereign and there will come a “Day of the Lord”!
