11% excise tax

[UnkleReign]

Since this is a excise tax are prices just going to be increased to reflect the 11% dealers have to pay or is it going to be added as an additional tax on the invoice? I am wondering because I will be DROSing another firearm in June which I will pay in full at time of order but pick up will be after July 1st.

To the best of my understanding, the 11% tax will be added to the transaction.

If you pay in full before July 1, you should not be charged the unconstitutional tax.

Private party ammo sales I guess will get a boost

I kind of think that's the CA politicians' end goal, by either by obfuscating the process, eliminating the supply of legal firearms, eliminating venues to participate, or driving the cost out of range of the general public.

The end goal of these politicians (and proven historically) is that you either become a slave to their wishes, or end up as fine ash dumped by the truckload in a river.

That 11% is a big reason I just bought another Beretta O/U shotgun right away. I had planned on it later in the year, but I wasn't going to spend damn near 20% on taxes. FGV!!

Better to pay inflated rates to another shooter than line the coffers of daddy gov for use against us.

COTUS has ruled that you cannot tax a constitutional right. How in the hell is this legal?

The same way Biden ignores the SC decision on student loan forgiveness.

Like in Stalin's USSR and Nazi Germany they do what they want.

I'm trying to understand how somehow photo id for voting is racist but somehow this is in line with the constitution?

"Retail sales of guns and ammunition will soon be subject to a new state excise tax in California. Under Assembly Bill 28, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law on September 26, 2023, an 11% tax will apply to gross receipts from retail sales of ammunition, firearms, and firearm precursor parts starting July 1, 2024. Revenue generated by the tax will be deposited in a new Gun Violence Prevention and School Safety Fund."

Will everyone in Cali get refunds when this is ruled unconstitutional?

The death of casual sports shooting in California.

The two previous posts are on point.

First the constitution doesn't seem to apply to CA; we already see that with plenty of infringements on the 2A.
I, like post #25 do not get how this hasn't been overruled already. It seem blatantly unconstitutional. And
like post #26 notes its going to hurt casual shooting sports. One gentlemen I've introduced to shooting just
a year ago and is all in now keeps harping on me to go to the range with him and another that I got on board.
Sorry guys I don't have that kind of money to blow through 45 acp, 357 and 9mm like they can.

Does this 11% tax apply to primers and powder? Does it apply to gun parts?

If so my purchases will be done out of state like with other banned products here.

Would be nice if this ultimately kills firearms taxes altogether and they become a non-tax item.
