House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

[stefan73]

It's a step but not a big enough step (IMO the NFA is un-Constitutional and should go away like the ATF).

Basically, the proposal would bring the $200 tax to $0 but you would still have the commie NFA registration.

Say what you want about the $200 stamp, but it was that same price all the way back in 1934 and they never accounted for inflation. If they did account for it, the stamp would be almost $4,800 today.

If they were as pro 2A as they said there would be no compromise.

However, I'm sure they have been given guidance from the current administration that the best deal is one which neither side is 100% satisfied with the outcome (there is compromise).

In my opinion the biggest oversight in this is that they only applied this language to Form 4s

I can’t even afford the $200

We are still way behind when you consider how poorly managed social security and other gov programs are managed. I'd argue most of that inflation is government induced in the last 40 years

While we're at it, SBRs and SBSs need to be removed from the list as well. Because like with suppressors, those are regulated for a stupid reason that makes no sense nowadays. They were put on the list so people couldn't chop the barrels and stocks off their long guns to get around the handgun restrictions back then. Nowadays, all 50 states allow handguns. Obviously some states are more strict than others, but they aren't outright banned.

Adding to that people borrowing money and financing things they other wise could not afford. IMO that is the main driver of inflation.

But thats a bit of a de rail from this topic.

If I were trying to build a list of gun owners, particularly those that might be considered "enthusiasts," I'd enact a free and completely optional registry system, just like this.

That’s just a justification used by those that think registration is a good idea. Not a personal attack.

It’s still a back door way to get people registered. A registration, even $0 registration, makes us sheep get used to being tracked. That’s literally why most pols, of either “party” like them. Control is such an addiction.

NFA needs to go away including ATF. as i understand it,suppressors are mandatory for hunting in some Euro countries? the whole pistol BS is a result of gov SBR restrictions. there COULD be some discussion about full auto. hardly anybody can afford them except cartels due to long standing import bans. love to have 1 but couldn't afford to feed it and cleaning it would be a major pain in my ass.
the setup for deep gov surveillance is never going away. the 2nd is never going be allowed to exist in the way that it was meant. the no tax thing is just a sop to 2A believers. the gov wants to weaken any chance of effective resistance. if we had gotten Harris they would have gone after BA hunting rifles as "sniper" rifles.

The HPA was removed from the bill by a guy who claims to be all about removing suppressors from the NFA since 2017. The short act bill to remove the sbr and sbs was also removed by republicans that sit on a super majority poised to obstruct any progress and not keep one promise made. This is a Trojan horse. They have a chance to do what they said. They never planned to do it. Fuck those hoebags.
