    Here it comes, either Pay your $200 tax for any gun classified as an Assault rifle or your going to the Clink for 10 Years and a 10,000 fine. I'll either fake my Gun Safe being broke into or I'm handing them over to the local chapter of MS-13 and they can collect them from those guys, but I'll be damned if I'm giving them to Beto O'rourke. Elections have Consequences

    What will this do except for ensure that only government has the ability to denfend itself from the people? Biden, as noted extensively is the guy who will come for your weapons, or tax the crap out of you or put you in prison. How nobel. And when this is people of color in this nation? Will folks finally understand just how racist Joe Biden and his policy are?

    This will be shut down by a Trump appointed Federal Judge. And then the Trump stacked Supreme Court.

    Don't forget the $200 tax on every "high capacity" magazine.
    I'm so happy the federal government will let me pay ~$20,000 to keep the magazines I already own

    Of course, if Biden --does-- sign into the law the proposal he lays out on his website, it may very likely lead to the overturn of all state-level bans on 'assault weapons', the National Firearms act of 1934, and the ban on transfer of full-auto firearms not registered before May 1986.

    "Biden’s gun control plan includes a ban on the manufacture of assault weapons and high capacity magazines, which have been used in the deadliest mass shootings. It also includes the expansion of background checks and the registering of all assault weapons under the National Firearms Act, which requires a $200 tax and lengthens the background check process from about 20 minutes, to about eight or ten months. Biden is planning nationwide gun buybacks for gun owners who don’t register for the NFA and he also wants to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, the industry’s protection from liability lawsuits."

    It sounds to me like everything there would require the consent of 60 Senators. Good luck.

    From the OP's link:

    Biden’s gun control plan includes a ban on the manufacture of assault weapons and high capacity magazines, which have been used in the deadliest mass shootings.

    Well good luck with the buy back of guns.

    “Anarchy will reign and I don’t expect any compliance amongst citizens,” said Brian Rafn, a recently retired gun industry analyst from Morgan Dempsey whose family owns shares in Sturm, Ruger. He estimated the “civilian gun arsenal” to be 585 million in guns in private ownership, which he referred to as “a Red State and rural/suburban reality.”

    And then we're going to collect DNA from all gun owners and then we're going to create a national gun registry on the internet so everyone can know who owns guns and then ...... and then........

    You cons are sooooooooo easy !

    As an Englishman I struggle to understand the Americans passion for guns, but I kind of get the desire to defend ones self in a spread out country like the states.
    But can one of you explain why you would want a semi automatic with a high capacity magazine.
    I hope this is not seen as a dig at you all.

    I actually support this, allow the complete and unburdened ownership of anything construed as a firearm. Maybe once we have enough school shootings and domestic terrorism we can pass a constitutional amendment to end this nonsense.

    Or America will eventually burn while teaching shooting drills in school and work like the third world country they aspire to be. We should get rid of permitting and mandate open carry for everyone also, including convicts. I am sure the gangs will enjoy military grade weapons.

    Whichever

    Look at you, hoping for huge numbers of innocent people to die so you can enact your agenda.

    A $200 Gun Tax?? Why don't they just lease out guns now like they do with cars? If you're going to keep a gun, then you should definitely make it a good one! :)

    Oh, but that's the best part - you have to pay the tax just to legally keep the guns you already have!
    Magazines, too!

    Allowing something to happen naturally is not hoping.
    Is this a reading comprehension issue or just trying to throw out a strawman?

    By your own assertion you want most gun laws struck down, do you believe it ends there?

    Wait? They want to also tax what people already own. ROFL!

    This crap is not constitutional and will only drive gun sales further through the roof.

    Your statement::

    Your description of your intended effect:
    Maybe once we have enough school shootings and domestic terrorism
    The ends to your means:
    we can pass a constitutional amendment to end this nonsense.'

    You -want- children to die.

    Back into the pit.

    How well we ignore history. In the early 90's the federal government banned military looking rifles and high cap mags in both rifles and hand guns. After a few years they determined that it had had no effect on anything. The goals hadn't been met. So the reversed the law. Here we go again.

    Hello, Joe, banning guns isn't the answer to anything.

    yeah and Trump is going to build a giant Trump wall across the southern border, lol, do you really think republican in congress will pass such a bill, get real

    Trump said he was coming for your guns... without due process... were you panicking then too

    Biden would have to promise an Abortion ban in the bill or something to get Republicans to sign it - cause republican want to control a women's body, not your ability to own ar-15's
