Description: The bipartisan deal on gun safety reform announced by 20 senators doesn't include any specifics when it comes to the sale of certain weapons. Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA), who supports that measure, is also calling for a separate measure to slap a 1,000% excise tax on the sale of assault weapons and certain high-capacity magazines. He joins Jim Lokay on "The Final 5" to explain why.
