Elizabeth Warren Plans to Tax Americans Out of Their Second Amendment Rights

Gun control has been a solid political talking point for over a week now in the wake of two mass shootings, one of which was carried out by a supporter of Elizabeth Warren. Democrat presidential candidates have wasted no time taking advantage of the opportunity to politicize their way through a crowded primary.

Speaking of Warren, she's one of many candidates proposing unconstitutional actions against the Second Amendment. Her latest idea is to tax Americans out of gun ownership, which discriminates against poor individuals who can't afford it. These are the very people Warren claims to be fighting for.

"Increasing taxes on gun manufacturers. Since 1919, the federal government has imposed an excise tax on manufacturers and importers of guns and ammunition. Handguns are taxed at 10% and other guns and ammunition are taxed at 11%. These taxes raise less in revenue than the federal excise tax on cigarettes, domestic wine, or even airline tickets. It’s time for Congress to raise those rates — to 30% on guns and 50% on ammunition — both to reduce new gun and ammunition sales overall and to bring in new federal revenue that we can use for gun violence prevention and enforcement of existing gun laws," Warren wrote in an op-ed for Medium.

  1. She should give up her armed security or tax that service at 90%. She should also raise taxes on anyone with a net worth over $2 million which would include her. Never see a Democrat raising taxes on themselves, since they put the limit above their income / net worth. They always exclude themselves, just like they exempt themselves from the laws they pass.

    1. So freaking true, time we changed the laws, force them to pay increased taxes, as well as get a 401 and employer healthcare like all us John/Jane Doe’s have too! They are not and should not be “PRIVILEGED” just because they work for OUR government!

  7. She and a lot more of them think they run this country and that we are their pawns. That they can just make any law they want and that they can force us to obey their laws. People, we better stand up to these scum.
