Please let me know if there are other countries whose arms manufacturers we should slap a #GunTariff on.

Uzi - Wikipedia

Israel, you have strong gun control within your own borders. We don't here. Stop shipping us Uzis, Israel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzi #GunTariff

BAE Systems - Wikipedia

BAE has a pretty big footprint in the US, and NH specifically, but surely there's a way to construct a #GunTariff that only affects arms imported from their foreign branches? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems

While that's a good start, Switzerland, couldn't you do a bit better to close the loophole allowing the workaround? Other countries, why can't you do like the Swiss here? #GunTariff

Saab AB - Wikipedia

Sweden has a reputation for being peaceful, right? Well then why do you Swedes let Saab make so many weapons? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Group #GunTariff

Hyundai has two separate articles about branches of theirs in the arms manufacturers list; I won't link them both here. Apparently Korean companies take the path of Japanese ones of having branches in everything. #GunTariff

Kalashnikov Concern - Wikipedia

Want to show we're serious about the threat of Russia? Slap some tariffs on Kalashnikov for shipping us so many AKs, and then maybe we'll be less suspicious of #TrumpRussia, Trump. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalashnikov_Concern #GunTariff

Wow all these Japanese companies have entries into businesses you wouldn't normally expect; apparently Kawasaki is an arms manufacturer, too: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Heavy_Indu... #GunTariff

Glock Ges.m.b.H - Wikipedia

Austria: like gun control in Austria? Then why are you okay shipping Glocks to places with less gun control like America? Heck, you could even impose your own export restrictions on Glocks before waiting for us to do a #GunTariff. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock_Ges.m.b.H

List of modern armament manufacturers - Wikipedia

Look at all these non-American arms manufacturers on this list! Some are probably from nations that have strong gun control in their own borders too: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_modern_arma... #GunTariff

Remington workers possibly losing their jobs due to bankruptcy might be receptive to this framing of a #GunTariff.

Instead of framing the #GunTariff as #GunControl, it could be framed in the way Trump frames other protectionist trade measures for his base: as a way from keeping those scary furriners from taking our jerbs.

While a #GunTax would be a good idea, it probably couldn't get passed in this environment due to the anti-tax fervor of Trump supporters and the GOP. Trump's #SteelTariff shows that a #GunTariff is more likely to appeal to his base that a #GunTax

#GunReform idea: instead of @realDonaldTrump's #SteelTariffs or @davidhogg111's #GunTax, combine the 2 into a more narrowly targeted version of the 2: a #GunTariff
