This video from Copper Jacket TV analyzes two new gun control bills, HR 4289 and HR 5135, which aim to restrict firearm and accessory purchases through financial means rather than outright bans. The analysis highlights how these bills could effectively price out many citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights, particularly impacting lower and middle-income individuals. Expert analysis suggests these measures are a 'ban by default' strategy.

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.
