Why is HR5717 considered detrimental to gun ownership?

They contend these measures are ineffective against crime and infringe upon constitutional liberties, disproportionately affecting law-abiding citizens.

What are the arguments against red flag laws proposed in HR5717?

How does HR5717 propose to tax firearms and ammunition?

HR5717 includes a 30% tax on firearms and a 50% tax on ammunition. This is described as a 'poor tax' intended to make firearm ownership prohibitively expensive for many, particularly the 'everyman of America.'
