Article: Proposed Bill Will Place a 1,000% Tax on AR-15s As a 2A Work Around

Sure does seem to be a bunch of unemployed idiots spending their time carrying signs, smokin crack and drinking their beer.
Old and young, the chromosomes must be getting weaker as the host body ages. Too bad these weren’t term limited In the womb.
 
I mean, they spend the whole time harping on skirting the democratic process while talking about a proposed law that would have to be passed… by the democratic process…
 

H.R.8051 - Assault Weapons Excise Act​


It was introduced in the House on June 14th and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee the same day.

So far, there has been no action on it.

If they pass it and then the republicans take over they will insure it doesn’t get repealed. Just like they did with the affordable care act and countless others.

The dems keep pulling us left and the republicans are the stop that makes sure we don’t go back to the right.

Same destination, different routes.

They BOTH want the same thing…

Absolute authority.

Sooner folks wake up to that fact, better off we’ll be. Very few in DC give a damn about us and when I say “very few”, I’m talking “can count them on one hand” few.

Two groups of people you should never place any trust in, unless getting disappointed is something you love to pursue…

1) Politicians
2) Media

When either tell you something, you’d be wise to assume it is a damned lie until proven otherwise, because it probably is. When either tell you, “Do this…it’s in your best interests”, you are better off doing the exact opposite.

That’s not “tin foil hat” stuff, but experience/observation talking. If a dude keeps hitting me over and over, it’s a pretty safe bet to believe that he aims to whoop my ass.

If an individual, organization or entity lies to you time after time after time, you have every reason to doubt their honesty and/or integrity.

Government ain’t good at a lot, but it has made malfeasance an art form.

Stripped lowers are "cheap" right now, so everyone should buy a few to put back for a rainy day.

1,000% Tax on AR-15 Rifles and Magazines Makes a Comeback

Last year we reported that House Democrats were proposing a bill to place a 1,000% tax on AR-15 rifles (below).

Bill is "proposed." Bills have to have more than one sponsor, and then have to be "presented." and then a whole slew of steps. Not trying to be snooty or condescending at all here... just thought it might be helpful to know the actual process of how a bill becomes law

The Bill Begins​

Laws begin as ideas. These ideas may come from a Representative—or from a citizen like you. Citizens who have ideas for laws can contact their Representatives to discuss their ideas. If the Representatives agree, they research the ideas and write them into bills.

The Bill Is Proposed​

When a Representative has written a bill, the bill needs a sponsor. The Representative talks with other Representatives about the bill in hopes of getting their support for it. Once a bill has a sponsor and the support of some of the Representatives, it is ready to be introduced.

The Bill Is Introduced​

The Hopper
In the U.S. House of Representatives, a bill is introduced when it is placed in the hopper—a special box on the side of the clerk’s desk. Only Representatives can introduce bills in the U.S. House of Representatives.
When a bill is introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, a bill clerk assigns it a number that begins with H.R. A reading clerk then reads the bill to all the Representatives, and the Speaker of the House sends the bill to one of the House standing committees.

The Bill Goes to Committee​

When the bill reaches committee, the committee members—groups of Representatives who are experts on topics such as agriculture, education, or international relations—review, research, and revise the bill before voting on whether or not to send the bill back to the House floor.
If the committee members would like more information before deciding if the bill should be sent to the House floor, the bill is sent to a subcommittee. While in subcommittee, the bill is closely examined and expert opinions are gathered before it is sent back to the committee for approval.

The Bill Is Reported​

When the committee has approved a bill, it is sent—or reported—to the House floor. Once reported, a bill is ready to be debated by the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Bill Is Debated​

When a bill is debated, Representatives discuss the bill and explain why they agree or disagree with it. Then, a reading clerk reads the bill section by section and the Representatives recommend changes. When all changes have been made, the bill is ready to be voted on.

The Bill Is Voted On​

Electronic Voting Machine
There are three methods for voting on a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives:
  1. Viva Voce (voice vote): The Speaker of the House asks the Representatives who support the bill to say “aye” and those that oppose it say “no.”
  2. Division: The Speaker of the House asks those Representatives who support the bill to stand up and be counted, and then those who oppose the bill to stand up and be counted.
  3. Recorded: Representatives record their vote using the electronic voting system. Representatives can vote yes, no, or present (if they don’t want to vote on the bill).
If a majority of the Representatives say or select yes, the bill passes in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill is then certified by the Clerk of the House and delivered to the U.S. Senate.

The Bill Is Referred to the Senate​

When a bill reaches the U.S. Senate, it goes through many of the same steps it went through in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill is discussed in a Senate committee and then reported to the Senate floor to be voted on.
Senators vote by voice. Those who support the bill say “yea,” and those who oppose it say “nay.” If a majority of the Senators say “yea,” the bill passes in the U.S. Senate and is ready to go to the President.

The Bill Is Sent to the President​

When a bill reaches the President, he has three choices. He can:
  1. Sign and pass the bill—the bill becomes a law.
  2. Refuse to sign, or veto, the bill—the bill is sent back to the U.S. House of Representatives, along with the President’s reasons for the veto. If the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate still believe the bill should become a law, they can hold another vote on the bill. If two-thirds of the Representatives and Senators support the bill, the President’s veto is overridden and the bill becomes a law.
  3. Do nothing (pocket veto)—if Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law after 10 days. If Congress is not in session, the bill does not become a law.

The Bill Is a Law​

If a bill has passed in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and has been approved by the President, or if a presidential veto has been overridden, the bill becomes a law and is enforced by the government.

At this point in time, it does not even have a sponsor, is not being considered, is not scheduled for committee, and is one tick above a harum scarum "idea" vomited out of the neural knob of some guy who is anxious to divert public attention from the necessity of firing a main staff member who was an open Chinese Communist spy.

Proposed anti Second Amendment bills need to be challenged by contacting our representatives before it gets to the floor.

So private sales would not be subject to it? The FFL’s selling new AR’s would be the ones really hit by this?
