My first firearm from England since the new tariffs took effect, hit the states yesterday. Added a charge of $136 for the one rifle. Since I believe it's based on amount of the rifle's value, I paid 1000 pounds for the rifle.
We had been led to believe, by some Liberal snowflakes here who are afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, that these Tariffs would be the end of the world.
Actually, that seems pretty benign, especially if it leads to better Trade Deals and future investments in U.S. production and employment opportunities.
And when you compare it to the huge price increases for nearly everything as a result of insane Democrat policies that created the Inflation of the Biden years, well really, there is no comparison. We now pay at least 25% more on average for the things we consume, and the value of retirement savings and investments were diminished by a like amount. Food, fuel, groceries, automobiles, travel, housing, rent, and utility costs all went up dramatically under Democrat rule. On top of that, we all paid hundreds of billions for the Democrats to illegally import at least 12-15 million additional illegal immigrants, and to then pay to give them free housing, education, health care, food, cell phones, etc. And now we have to pay again to round them up and deport them.
But for some odd reason, the whiners who cry about Trump Tariffs never say a word about this far worse economic damage that affected every U.S. citizen, not just the occasional foreign gun buyer.
