@JustinWolfers The constitutional question of a “back door ban” is less relevant to these firearms because Congress did a front door ban — the original Assault Weapons Ban — in 1994, and it was upheld in the courts many times against a variety of legal challenges — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
@JustinWolfers There is another factor to consider though, which is capturing enough revenue to give it enough budgetary relevance to meet a Byrd Rule challenge under Senate reconciliation rules. The idea and success of the legislative mechanism are much more important than the specific number! — PolitiTweet.org

Notes: 1) The weapons subjected to the excise tax are defined using updated language and terms mostly drawn from the Assault Weapons Ban (which I cosponsor). 2) it exempts federal, state, and local government entities, so armed services and law enforcement would be unaffected. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
The Assault Weapons Excise Act was introduced today with 36 original cosponsors in the House, a list is below. The bill text is available here: https://t.co/IbG3B4q3r7 https://t.co/djqwjDQ3tj — PolitiTweet.org

Right after he turned 18, the Uvalde shooter bought an AR-15 model rifle for $1,870. A week later he killed 19 children and 2 teachers. Under my legislation had that gun would cost $18,700, obviously making it significantly harder to acquire. https://t.co/1k4xJBaDUI https://t.co/EpPzMYF5fN — PolitiTweet.org

I've voted for commonsense gun safety reforms only to see them run aground on Senate Republicans’ filibuster; my bill presents a pathway to bypass that obstruction and save lives. It has strong grounding in constitutional authority, judicial precedent, and legislative history: https://t.co/rD3SNhV2eh — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
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
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
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

Rudy Giuliani just blocked me but he still hasn't denied or clarified his role in inciting a violent insurrection at the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Here are the tweets I commented on: https://t.co/uzIgfLv3D5 — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
Rudy Giuliani denies he was drunk when he urged Trump to claim he won the election after all of Trump's advisers said it wasn't true. Believe him or not, but he isn't denying the other evidence we heard about the plot to overturn the election which led to the January 6th attack. — PolitiTweet.org
