House Democrats proposed legislation to implement a 1,000% tax on AR-15-style rifles and other semi-automatic weapons.
Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) introduced the “Assault Weapons Excise Act” on Tuesday, along with 36 Democrat colleagues, to severely restrict firearms that have magazines capable of holding 10 rounds or more.
The legislation would place exemptions on weapons used recreationally for hunting and ammunition but would not apply to the millions of semi-automatic weapons already in circulation across the country.
The tax would force an AR-15 style rifle worth $900 to cost $9,000 after the federal tax.
Beyer believes this is a loophole to successfully limit firearms without explicitly limiting the Second Amendment.
Referencing recent mass shootings, Beyer said, “Congress must take action to stem the flood of weapons of war into American communities, which have taken a terrible toll in Uvalde, Buffalo, Tulsa, and too many other places.”
Republicans slammed the legislation during a House hearing on gun violence Wednesday.
“I strongly believe that there is an important place for law-abiding gun owners to serve in protecting themselves, their families and their communities from violence,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said .“Our Second Amendment is an important tool in securing our individual rights to self-defense. Knee-jerk reactions to impose gun control policies that seek to curtail our Constitutional right to bear arms is not the answer,” he added.However, 10 Republicans have faced scrutiny from their base after they signed on to a proposal for gun safety legislation announced in the Senate on Sunday. The legislation would provide federal funding to establish red flag laws at the state level and expand mental health services in an attempt to prevent gun violence.With the ten Republican senators standing with the Democrats, the bill will not be able to be filibustered. Here are the 10 Republicans agreeing to the gun control bill: Lindsey […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
