MASS BILL proposed 36% tax on all gun and ammo sales

[HuntMaine]

A female Linsky is behind this bill.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

A LTC is a tax on a right

Which is proof the 2A remains a right of the second class.

Are you suggesting smuggling ops? Cause that's what it sounds like.
Need more supplies?

I’m reminded of some other smugglers. Hancock chiefly among them. It looks as if people with that skill set will be in demand again.

They never weren't. Only change is who sees their efforts as heroic.

Taxing scary things out of existence, dems play the long game.

Sad but true. And they're good at it.

 

[StevieP]

Aaaaaaaallrighty then.

200% tax on beer, liquor, and cigarettes.

Which kills more? guns used by licensed gun owners? Or drunk drivers? Or cigarette smokers from cancer?

Massachusetts politicians are the greatest gift the NH economy could ever hope for.

And.....the list just keeps growing.........

Headed down to NC/SC next week to pic a spot!

 

[fishgutzy]

it is odd why so low. in denmark, from what i recall, they made up a 200% tax on the price of any automobile purchase, so most folks happily drive bicycles and remain slim.
because government knows better what is good for you.

Was 180%. Made a $20K Hyundai cost $56K.
Lots of luxury vehicles for the rich.
More recently they created a convoluted tax plan based on a bunch of factors. Still works out to be over 100%.
The EV Mandates here are intended to have a similar destructive impact on privately owed cars.

 

[groundscrapers]

That seems pretty classist of them to only do the gun buy backs in the low income communities. Might even be a little racist.

Can you levy an additional tax on a constitutional right? So let’s propose a bill to pay to vote. That way Dems for each time they vote….and good luck collecting from the dead voters

The party in control is the same one that not only determined that the Federal government is responsible for your individual state of health, but passed a 50,000 page law that had to be passed to find out what's in it, when mostly what was in it was a requirement that YOU, individually, MUST purchase health insurance.

They have no problem applying a tax to things like Constitutionally protected natural rights. Speech for instance. The tax there is joining a social media site and then conforming to the views popular on Instagram / Twitter / Facebook, etc.

As a former MA resident, I beg to differ.

However, I ALWAYS reported said purchases on my MA State Income Tax Return so I could pay the appropriate tax.

Just give it away for an appropriate donation.

[tinhorn]

every person licensed to sell or supply ammunition [in Massachusetts] shall pay to the commissioner of revenue an excise equal to 36 percent of the wholesale value of a single round of each round of ammunition sold or supplied.

The ammo is a penny per round. The cardboard box is $34.50. Problem solved.

This has nothing to do with outreach programs.

It never does. My wife is 53. I thought she "got it." She was talking the other day about some department in some town and how they "had to spend all the money before the fiscal year ended in June." I gave her that "did you just really say that?" look. She asked what????

"Hon. It's NOT THEIR MONEY. It's MY money. How about they give it back if they don't need it?"

Government isn't about helping, it's about building bigger government. Even those true-believers truly believe that if they only had more of YOUR money, they could do so much good. Nope. Sorry. The role of government should be to figure out how to solve itself out of problems.

It’ll be just like buying a vehicle in NH as a MA resident. Tax man still comin for that ass

Except enforcing use tax is way harder than excise, etc.

They get you on the auto tax because you have to register it….

Exactly @Spartan65. I just issued a reg for a client this morning, car bought in NH, no sales tax paid in NH so MA hit him for 6.25% when registering. In fact, even if you lived out of state and bought and registered a car out of state and move to MA, they'll collect the difference between what you paid the other State and the MA rate if you bought the car less than six mos prior.

This was sponsored by a dipsh*t who is literally under investigation for failing to pay taxes?

It's time for the FUDDs to feel some pain when they buy some #8. LOL This is what happens when you sit back and cheer on gun control thinking that it's not going to affect you.

That's the 24th amendment. Ironically, Mass was one of the last places that still had a poll tax so this f***ery is not surprising.

LOL, find a liquor/cig/walmart store near the mass/nh border and drive thru the parking lot looking at plates.

so.. instead of tea, what (or whom) do we throw into the harbor?

 

[Dadstoys]

The state will be excited to pass this crap until someone figures out they'll lose Pittman–Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act funds.

Pretty sure they only used that to gate off access to public land anyway.

No, accepting those funds for conservation makes it mandatory that the land is kept open for public access and seasonal hunting otherwise it's a violation of federal law for misuse of funds.
