Representative Don Beyer (D-VA) has reintroduced the 'Assault Weapons Excise Act' (HR 5135), proposing a 1000% tax on the sale of certain firearms and large-capacity magazines. This bill, similar to last year's HR 8051, targets semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns with specific features, as well as magazines exceeding 10 rounds. The proposed tax would significantly increase the cost of these items for law-abiding citizens.
