A 20% tax on firearms and 50% tax on ammunition is being considered in Congress, but FPC is using every available resource and remedy to prevent it from taking effect.
Don't know why that's surprising. Yet another way to grab some cash from people. On the state level alone, in New Jersey, aside from your regular sales taxes (6.6%, soon to be 7% again), property taxes (highest in the US), income taxes (5% for firmly middle class folks), and so on... they also tax gas (37 cents per gallon), cigarettes ($2.70 per pack), and now they're talking about taxing bags in stores (both plastic AND paper) at 5 cents per bag. Won't even venture into the federal level... but if they can squeeze another couple of cents out of everyone, they'll do it every time.
