    Can we also impose a similar tax targeting abortion clinics, printing presses, & people who won't consent to quarter troops in their homes?https://twitter.com/mises/status/1334598883645779968 …

    Biden has proposed a new $200 tax on rifles and magazines, with a $10,000 fine for noncompliance. Registration involves filling out a thirteen-page form, with fingerprints and a photograph of yourself. | @DrMarkThornton https://mises.org/wire/joe-biden-wants-huge-new-tax-gun-owners …

        Why just a tax? In a public health emergency, the executive can just ban or severely restrict it. science!

        Completely agree. Our king has every right to issue decrees! Especially when public safety is concerned. 👍

        doesn’t it really depend on whether John Robert’s thinks it’s a “tax” or just a “penalty”???

        I suppose we all need to pretend this isn’t an infringement for this ploy to work. Just wondering: What if we didn’t? 🤔

        The power to tax is the power to destroy McCulloch v Maryland, 17 US 316 (1819)

        Its not a *new* tax. Biden's vision is to extend the National Firearms Acts regs covering machine guns to "assault weapons" (NOT automatic, but do look scary, so...). *IF* the NFA is constitutional (its been around for decades), expanding the definition *might* be as well.pic.twitter.com/q6oQkyqp3g

        I would think under Heller semiautomatic rifles are protected as being "in common use", even if they look like a prop from a Schwarzenegger film rather than a John Wayne western. And the Supreme Court *might* agree. If they do, thank Trump and Mitch. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/07-290.ZS.html …
