During the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden announced he will force gun owners of “assault weapons” to either sell their weapons to the government or register them under the National Firearms Act.
According to Joe Biden’s plan in order to register a firearm, you have to fill out a complicated 13-page application form and include a $200 gun tax for each firearm you own. Your fingerprints and a photograph of yourself will be required on the form. This will be a difficult program to enact for the Biden regime. In 2020 a record number of Americans bought guns. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation 8.4 million people bought a gun for the first time in 2020. townhall reported: Joe Biden would force semiautomatic rifle owners to either participate in a gun buyback program, or register their firearm under the National Firearms Act, which requires the payment of a $200 tax. This would extend to AR-15s and other common household rifles. Those who do not comply would face up to 10 years in federal prison, and a potential $10,000 fine. This is yet another violation of Joe Biden’s pledge against any tax increase on anyone making less than $400,000 a year. In fact, it would hit working class Americans the hardest. As detailed on Biden’s campaign website, this proposal would give semiautomatic rifle and high capacity magazine owners two choices: participating in a gun buyback program or registering said guns and magazines under the National Firearms Act. This triggers the $200 tax for each gun and magazine registered. In order to register a firearm (or a magazine, under Joe Biden’s plan), you have to send in a 13-page, complicated application form with the $200 tax included, your fingerprints, and a photograph of yourself. In this way, the hurdles to legally own your weapon or high-capacity magazine go far beyond the expensive tax. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/biden-proposes-200-gun-tax-firearm-buyback-program-along-13-page-form-asks-fingerprints-photograph/ |

Ok who else besides me is predicting this is going to pass into law.

I don't see many local law enforcement groups enforcing this. If I remember correctly, Colion did a video on this not too long ago. The scary part is it could be easily modified on the magazine ban too include most modern pistols. I figure they'll hit a few high profile people to scare the masses.

$200 per magazine? LOL!
How do they plan on verifying and enforcing any of this? Why is every Liberal scheme always this fundamentally absurd and justifiably retarted? |

Quoted: I further predict that it will take more than 4 years to implement. By then it will be struck down by SCOTUS or repealed.

That article is referencing a Townhall article from 10/2020. I need to see something spoken after inauguration before I get my hackles up.
