Who would do this?

 Example of highly immoral legislators.

..."Simple solution: (click here) Say a particular AR-15 costs $950. Then gun store owners simply need to sell a 'fun-sized' Snickers bar for $950. Then have the customer eat the candy at the store so they can't request a refund. And then sell the AR-15 for $1. Then charge the $10 excise tax," he tweeted on Monday....

The country is trying to find measures to curtail gun violence and the idea of a 1000 percent tax on them would be viable and is filibuster proof. So, Republicans learned of the effort and decided it would be easy for a loophole to exist for gun sellers.

Legislators that are to pass the 1000 percent tax on weapons of war needs to be sure the legislation has no loopholes and/or address them when they manifest.

This example of immorality only goes to show what caliber of legislator sits in Washington, DC that would even brag about methods to circumvent a law that will make it very difficult to purchase a weapon of war.

The question arises as to what would come of the taxes and can it easily be repealed? 

The taxes when collected need to go into the budget that funds programs for police. If repelled it would cause a reduction in monies to law enforcement and there needs to be notice to the public before such repeal laws could be passed.

NO MORE SUNDOWNING! Public notice is the new sundown. It needs to be the type of notice that will allow for 2 years to make the rounds in the states and public comment taken both in physical testimony and/or written. Once the public comment has been collected only then can any legislation to roll back a vitally important tax be voted to rescind it. 

Federal legislators need to make the bills they pass very difficult to reverse. Our country is taking on the appearance of a banana republic and it has to be stopped. This is ridiculous. The Affordable Care Act is a vitally important measure and has been hacked away at by the states and federal Republicans. It is time to make legislation that is passed very difficult to reverse.
