WASHINGTON, D.C. – A $1,000 per gun tax should serve as a “role model” for states, according to the governor of the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands, which imposed the $1,000 gun tax earlier this month. An idea first endorsed by Hillary Clinton in 1993, steep gun taxes have now taken hold in Cook County, Ill. the city of Seattle, and now a U.S. territory.
As reported by the Saipan Tribune:
The administration of Gov. Ralph DLG Torres defended the CNMI’s new gun control laws on Friday as a law that could be “a role model” for other U.S. states and jurisdictions facing seemingly uncontrolled and continued gun violence.
The administration was responding to queries regarding its position on recent reports that the a legal challenge to the new law, Public law 19-42, was likely, particularly over a provision that assesses a $1,000 excise tax on pistols.
The threat of such a tax serving as a role model for other politicians to impose is not an idle one. Consider the following:

ReplyDeleteSo, if I steal your guns that saves me the tax AND the purchase price! I'm already a felon anyway, so "taking away my right to own a firearm" is not an issue! I just "take" my right from your gun cabinet!
ReplyDeleteWe need a $1,000.00 tax on each lie told by a politician.

ReplyDeletePerhaps this is what the felons in Washington wanted all along.Just a way to get around to tax us more.
Bet there would be no negativity about arms with that tariff. The felons in Washington would encourage every citizen to have weapons in their residence, hanging beside each door and window. Along with as many as you could hang on you're person, ankle, shoulder, hip, etc.Everyone on the skreet would look like a suicide bomber walking into the Seven / Eleven.
