If this bill is passed, it would make 393 million legal gun owners federal felons for wanting to protect their life and liberty to the best of their ability. The taxes imposed on firearms and ammunition in this bill (30% on all non-banned firearms and 50% on all ammunition) would price out the Middle and Lower class Americans from being able to afford to protect themselves and their families. This is simply Unconstitutional, and targeting those from the Upper Middle class, down to the Lower class. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-103823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/whitworth-sniper-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/whitworth-sniper-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/whitworth-sniper-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/whitworth-sniper-500x288.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/whitworth-sniper.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can sign the petition online, but read the entire thing first.<\/p>\n<p>It is a violation of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Amendment, because the restrictions are not necessary.<\/p>\n<p>States have their own laws regarding gun ownership in place already.
