Amer­i­can gun own­ers could face tens of bil­lions of dol­lars in new tax­es to keep the guns they already own under Demo­c­rat Joe Biden’s gun ban and tax plan.

At least 20 mil­lion rifles and 150 mil­lion ammu­ni­tion mag­a­zines would be caught up in the sales ban and reg­is­tra­tion scheme Biden tout­ed on the cam­paign trail, accord­ing to a Nation­al Shoot­ing Sports Foun­da­tion (NSSF) report. The new tax­es would cost Amer­i­cans more than $34 bil­lion, accord­ing to a Wash­ing­ton Free Bea­con analysis.

NSSF told the Wash­ing­ton Free Bea­con the sheer num­ber of affect­ed guns and mag­a­zines could pose a sig­nif­i­cant prob­lem for Biden’s gun-con­trol plans.
