Instead, the state would make the businesses that sell guns and ammunition pay the tax. However, most of the time businesses will raise prices to cover the cost of the tax. The tax would not apply to police officers and it would not apply to businesses with sales of less than $5,000 over a three-month period. Trying to run the sellers out of town by taxing them.

EternalShinyAndChrome 2,527 Posted September 7, 2023 Couldn't have happened to a better State! The problem isn't them running themselves into the dirt, the problem is how does the rest of the US States keep those liberal cockroaches from moving out of the mess they created to only destroy the next place they infest?

Hardcore troubadour 12,659 Posted September 12, 2023 Has a city in the US been wrecked as quick as San Fran has? 3-4 years ago it was thriving. NY is not far behind, just taking a little longer. We’ll get there though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewGirl 1,031 Posted September 12, 2023 The gun tax passed our legislature, additional 11% to fund gun safety or whatever, on top of the 11% federal tax to protect forests and wildlife. So a total of 22% on gun and ammo sales. So, I predict a large increase in sales of both before this is signed into law by Gavin, and people will now just go to Nevada to get their stuff.

Stryker Ryker 176 Posted September 12, 2023 California will fall pretty soon. They’re hemorrhaging money from the rest of the states and spend/give away FAR more than they make. We start refusing to give them federal aid until they comply by locking up the criminals and stop raising taxes they’ll eventually be forced to comply. Honestly, it’s getting to the point I’m about to run for President my damn self cause I’m tired of all these elitists saying “we are gonna do this” and “we are gonna do that” giving people hope that they’ll be different than the last. And yet, it always ends up with them lying about what they were gonna do, they end up embezzling millions, screwing over the American people, and make their friends/corporations richer. Until we get an average, every day american in office we won’t be able to dig ourselves out of the hole the politicians have put us in. Trump was the closest thing we had to an every day American. He wasn’t a career politician and that’s why the left elitists are so threatened that they’re willing to show they don’t care about laws, constitution, human rights, due process, etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
