Andrew Clyde introduced legislation Wednesday that would eliminate the federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation, a copy of which was first obtained by the Daily Caller, has\u00a037 cosponsors in the House. The bill is titled the RETURN (Repealing Excise Tax on Unalienable Rights Now) our Constitutional Rights Act and pushes back against the excise tax that is applied at the manufacturer level for every firearm and all ammunition sold in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/firearms-guides-importation-verification-firearms-ammunition-and-implements-war-firearms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">excise tax<\/a> is 10% on the sale of pistols and revolvers and 11% on the sale of all other types of guns as well as cartridges. The legislation also comes as Democratic Virginia Rep. Don Beyer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gun-control-lawmaker-introduces-bill-to-impose-1000-tax-on-semi-automatic-weapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">introduced<\/a> legislation to impose a 1,000% tax on semi-automatic weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats gearing up to tax firearms into oblivion simultaneously enjoy the perks of armed Capitol Police \u2014 or armed private security. Of course, some of these same lawmakers also radically call to defund and dismantle our police. Furthermore, the Left is persistently using any means necessary to infringe on Americans\u2019 Second Amendment freedoms, yet will turn around in a matter of weeks to request billions more in taxpayer dollars to provide additional arms to Ukraine. What about Americans\u2019 safety? What about defending our liberties?\u201d Clyde told the Daily Caller before introducing the legislation. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/31\/senate-democrats-republicans-bipartisan-meeting-gun-violence-uvalde-texas-school-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Senate Democrats, Republicans Meet To Focus On Gun Violence)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THE BILL HERE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View (DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) -- Rcra of 2022 Clyde Final on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/579319282\/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-Rcra-of-2022-Clyde-Final#from_embed\">(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) \u2014 \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Henry Rodgers&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/527927298\/Henry-Rodgers#from_embed\">Henry Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiberals\u2019 blatant hypocrisy knows no bounds, but it isn\u2019t enough to hide their true malicious intentions.
