A House Democrat plans to introduce a bill that would hit AR-15's with a 1,000% tax -- and

89. Okay, so I make a new rifle, the BS-16

It's exactly the same as an AR-15, but the bolt is .010" longer and .010" larger in diameter. BS-16 bolts won't work in an AR-15, and AR-15 bolts won't work in the BS-16.

Congrats, your tax is nullified. And all the accessories that are made for the AR-15 fit quiet nicely on my BS-16

Oh, and you're STILL ignoring the fact that handguns are used to kill 19 times as many people as rifles.

Over 8,000 per year with handguns, about 450 with any kind of rifle.

Looks like gun nuts aren't the only ones obsessed with the AR-15!

God, the pandering that House Democrats do on this issue is only surpassed by the people that lap up the idiocy.

Here are your REAL options that have no loopholes or workarounds:

1. Ban all sales and transfers of semiautomatic long guns. I'd appreciate an exception for rimfire guns of .22 caliber or less. This gets everything that's not a manual-action gun.

2. Raise the age to own a semiautomatic long gun to 21.

Pick one, and run with it!
