I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth bringing up again.
This is bad enough. But the $200 tax is based on the assumption that the cost doesn’t go up. That $200 tax stamp dates from when the NFA (National Firearms Act) was first imposed during the FDR regime, in 1934. It was $200 then, and amazingly hasn’t been increased since. Do not be surprised if the Biden regime tries to update the tax. $200 in 1934 money works out to about $3,886 in 2020 dollars. A $400 pistol with two magazine would thus put you on the hook for $11,658. That’s a minimum of $600, up to twelve grand, just to *keep* something you legally purchased.
Millionaires like Biden and Bernie can afford to pay the extra fees for armed private security, when they’re not protected on the government dime. Biden could doubtless afford to outfit a small army from what his family has taken in from the ChiComs. But regular folk would be screwed. And actually poor people? Not a chance. And given that black folk are disproportionately poor, it is reasonable to point out that not only are Biden’s proposed tax polices fascistic and unconstitutional, they’re racist.
