What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Medicare Investment and Gun Violence Prevention Act. It changes the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to bring back certain taxes on firearms. Specifically, it puts a $200 tax on transferring and making certain firearms, and a $5 tax for firearms classified as any other weapon. The money saved and collected from these taxes will be deposited into the Medicare part A trust fund. Additionally, the bill appropriates an extra $1,700,000,000 to the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund for fiscal year 2026.
