the manufacturer isn’t going to lose $200 per item that’s not how you stay in business all of that gets passed on to us and some, youre lol retarded.
I feel like you are struggling with the reading comprehension portion of this conversation, so I'll try to use smaller words:
If Jim (random made up name) buys a suppressor in March of 2025, and he pays $800 for the suppressor, and $200 for the tax stamp,how much has Jim paid?
Answer: $1,000.
If the manufacturer had a built in $200 tax and the suppressor sold for $800, they would now sell the same suppressor for $1,000.
Now our theoretical Jim has paid the same amount of money for the suppressor, and the manufacturer has an identical profit margin..
I can get out the crayons if I need to.
"Lol retarded".
