Not Coming for Your Gun?

Many gun owners do not feel the need to get involved in 2nd Amendment defense because the government “is not coming for their gun.”

Guess again.  There are proposed bills in the New York Legislature that would apply to probably every civilian firearm purchase.  Here is the math if they were all passed (and remember that the overwhelming anti-2A Democrat majorities could pass any of these and we currently have no way to stop them.)

If you want to buy a firearm at $500,

The existing federal excise tax is $55

Bill S5813 proposes an 11% state excise tax;  $55

The price you pay is $610.  (Excise taxes are buried in the merchandise’s price so you don’t see them.) 

Then you pay 8% NYS Sales tax of $48.80. 

And don’t forget the $9 CCIA fee. 

The $500 gun costs you $$667.80. 

In addition:

Bills S5974 and A5611

Add on the cost $1 million in liability insurance which will be around $400.

Bills S0658 and A4085

Add the cost of classroom and range training; $250 to $500

Bill S3981

Requires a hunting license for $22

And a drug test for ($100?)

And a mental health evaluation for ($200?) 

And a safe storage depository ($100?)

That $500 gun will cost you at least $1,500 but probably not more than $2,500. 

And that’s before you try to buy any ammo!

They are coming for your gun!
