The left has long advocated for limiting civil rights to strictly the wealthy by trying to institute massive taxes on things they don't like, so only rich people can afford them.
The president's own son, a known federal gun criminal, could probably still afford to illegally purchase an AR-15, but it will become out of reach for the average American.
Remember, Democrats = civil rights for the rich only.
Weapon used by alleged Uvalde shooter would sell for $18,700 if the bill is passed, instead of its retail price of $1,870.

A Democratic lawmaker has introduced a bill designed to curb sales of semi-automatic weapons like AR-15s, the type of firearm used by both shooters in the massacres in
Uvalde and Buffalo last month. If passed, the legislation would impose a 1,000% tax on any type of semi-automatic weapon, making the firearms prohibitively expensive for most would-be buyers.
The new bill, introduced by Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia on Tuesday, comes as a group of 20 senators announced Sunday that they had
reached a consensus on the key priorities of a deal to reform the nation's gun laws. The 1,000% tax on semi-automatic weapons would "give the Senate an option for further action to address the epidemic of gun violence" beyond the reform already in the works, Beyer said in a statement.
