[Guest Razz]

A pair of Democratic lawmakers are proposing steep new taxes on handguns and ammunition, and tying the revenues to programs aimed at preventing gun violence.

Translation:
We are going to tax firearms and ammo to pay for legislation to take away your firearms and ammo.

Will these dickheads ever do an honest day's work? /rhetorical question

The bill most likely has only a snowball's chance in he11 of getting out of committee.  Hopefully.  What a couple of maroons.

Unlike gasoline, alcohol, and tobacco; the SCOTUS has acknowledged an individual right to own a gun. I don’t think a tax aimed specifically at making guns and ammo affordable to only the wealthy would pass constitutional muster even if the law passed.

Funding for a police state. More armored vehicles and drones.
