Hillary Clinton’s History of Support for Prohibitive Taxes on Firearms and Ammunition
To preface his question, Stephanopoulos showed Clinton a video clip from a September 30, 1993 Senate Finance Committee hearing on President Bill Clinton’s plans to overhaul the U.S. health care system. Clinton testified before the committee as chair of the President’s Task Force on National Health Care Reform. In the clip, Clinton was asked by Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.) if she supported a 25 percent tax on firearms to fund the cost of the president’s healthcare proposal. Clinton responded, “I'm all for that. I just don't know what else we're going to do to try to figure out how to get some handle on this violence… We will look at your proposal and be happy to talk with you about it. I'm speaking personally, but I feel very strongly about that.”
