Guess we will know in the morning?

Silencers no longer on NFA or $0 tax stamps.... or nothing?

If you flip through YouTube headlines, they pass a bill every 30 minutes that eliminates the NFA. It's the most click bait rich segment on YouTube. Meanwhile, after years of "congress will nullify the NFA tomorrow" headlines, I'm a little jaded. Wake me up when something actually happens.
That faggot Armed Scholar is the worst.
 
So if this makes it, we're free to mass produce our own at home ?
Yes, but maybe no. And, it depends. There’s a reasonable chance that the registration provision remains even if the $200 tax is reduced to $0. And, all of it still must pass the senate. It only needs 51 votes, but the repubs are the world’s champions of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

That was my understanding as well. The registration process has to go. I want to roll my own at will.

I skimmed thru the Wall Street Journal and didn’t see anything you have a link you can post?

$0 transfer, suppressors only, nothing about removal from NFA that I can see

This is a link to a comparative document that shows the difference between the current and previous versions

Here are the highlights of what’s inside the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act:”

  • Permanent extension of the individual income tax cuts in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, with some adjustments.
  • Temporary elimination of taxes on qualified tips, overtime pay and car loan interest payments.
  • An additional deduction for senior Americans in lieu of no taxes on Social Security (there are procedural reasons why Republicans can’t do no taxes on Social Security, namely the Byrd Rule).
  • SALT cap increase to $20,000 for married individuals filing separately ($250,000 income limit) and $40,000 in the case of any other taxpayer ($500,000 income limit).
  • Hikes debt ceiling by $4 trillion, which is forecasted to become a problem sometime after July or August if Congress fails to act.
  • $175 billion for border security, including $46.5 billion for the construction of a wall along the US-Mexico border specifically.
  • $150 billion in additional funding for defense, including $25 billion for Trump’s space-based Golden Dome missile defense system, $34 billion to expand the Navy’s capacity and shipbuilding, $21 billion to replenish America’s ammunition stockpile and $5 billion for border security.
  • A mandated 80-hour-per-month work requirement on able-bodied adults ages 19-64 enrolled in Medicaid. Volunteer work and school would count toward the requirement.
  • States that provide Affordable Care Act expansion of Medicaid coverage for illegal immigrants will see their reimbursement rates drop.
  • States with error rates on SNAP benefits would be required to pay a percentage of the program (historically, the feds paid for all of it).
  • Set up a fast-track system for permitting natural gas if applicants pay either 1% of a project’s costs or $10 million, whichever amount is less.
  • Ends the Biden-era electric vehicle mandate for two-thirds of new car sales to be EVS by 2032.
  • Able-bodied adults without children would also see work requirements for SNAP, which currently last until the age of 54, jump to the age of 64.
  • New “Trump” savings accounts for parents and guardians where the feds will pay $1,000 for children born between Jan. 1, 2024, and Dec. 31, 2028.
  • Restrictions on large abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood from getting Medicaid funding.
  • Restrictions on Medicaid funding for transgender surgeries.
  • Eliminate the $200 tax on gun silencers.
  • Tax of up to 21% on certain university endowments.
  • Consolidate student loan payments into two options: 1.) standard program, encompassing monthly payments over a 10 to 25 year period 2.) “repayment assistance” program that is more lenient.
  • Roll back key provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act.
  • Air Traffic Control modernization.

Even if it passes, it’s only good until they change their mind again. How many times has crap been said it’s good to go only to be rolled back two months later. Reminds me of that commercial with the guy has a $20 on a fishing pole while some dude is attempting to grab and and the guy with the pole goes, “you were this close!” Here is the thing, free men don’t ask permission and people grow tired of the back and forth shit. Are we free or not? We should start living as such. We have become pansies. Might as well have remained under British rule.
