As a revenue measure, the Assault Weapon Excise Act could be included in budget reconciliation legislation and withstand a Byrd Rule challenge, creating a pathway to pass a new restriction on assault weapons with a simple majority in the Senate. https://t.co/dXFRFftYxu https://t.co/BcwglXNdkg — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

NEW: Introducing the Assault Weapon Excise Act. My bill would impose a 1000% excise tax on the manufacturer, importer, or producer of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. It's designed to bypass the filibuster and win Senate passage with 50 votes. https://t.co/7K813ULBKn https://t.co/gfXTkMIiRg — PolitiTweet.org

Assault weapons designed for use on the battlefield are being used in mass shootings at schools, grocery stores, hospitals, churches, synagogues, etc. Uvalde shows that even law enforcement feel outgunned. Congress must stem the flood of weapons of war into American communities. — PolitiTweet.org
