The Bill That Would Tax Firearms and Magazines at 1000%
This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, analyzes House Resolution 8051, a proposed bill in Washington D.C. that would impose a 1000% excise tax on firearms and high-capacity magazines. The bill defines high-capacity magazines as holding over 10 rounds and broadly defines 'semi-automatic assault weapons' to include most modern semi-automatic firearms. Kirk explains the potential financial impact and discusses the bill's legislative pathway, suggesting it's more likely to pass than previous legislation due to its potential to be attached to appropriations bills.
