I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944[16][35]
The tax has not been removed. The statement is that the tax is $0, not that there is no tax.I just had something dawn on me.
Everyone is thinking that the registration requirements have to be removed from the NFA by Congress.
But what if it doesn't?
What if President Trump comes out and issues an EO waiving all registration requirements? People will say, "he can't do that", but I would argue that it's possible on the following grounds.
The NFA was set up as a way to track tax payments for specific items. Now that those taxes are gone it creates a Catch 22 for the government. Firearms registries are by current law expressly forbidden by statutory law. The elimination of the tax puts the government in a position where it is violating something regardless of what it does. If they do nothing about the situation the government would be forced into doing something clearly illegal on several levels.
Then of course you would have the left howling and they would immediately sue over his "illegal" EO. Which that of course would get fast tracked in the legal world. But regardless, the argument would be sound because the changes now create a situation that can't be remedied in any other way. Basically "because of the changes the government would be forced to commit felonies against millions of Americans" if we don't do something different.
Sounds like a tax stamp will still be needed, since the word "tax" is still in play.The tax has not been removed. The statement is that the tax is $0, not that there is no tax.
That and it has been expressly stated in many places, and inferred by the removal of the HPA and SHORT language from the BBB, that suppressors and SB*s will not be removed from the NFA.Sounds like a tax stamp will still be needed, since the word "tax" is still in play.
Fox News is not a legislative analyst. The actual signed law matters, not Rupert Murdoch's sales pitch.I was in the final bill its been confirmed, I just read the story on fox news feed
So you are saying that you have no cans nor SBRs then? Do you have a permit to carry a weapon? Have you purchased any weapons legally? A hunting license? Do you own a home and pay real estate taxes?Sniper’s Hide: “What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ do they not understand? This is bullshit!”
Also Sniper’s Hide: “My new SBR with a can just got out of jail! Check it out guys!”
Actively participating in something you disagree with is my favorite flavor of hypocrisy.

Probably doesn’t pay his taxes, which means he grows all his own stuff cause he refuses to pay sales tax.So you are saying that you have no cans nor SBRs then? Do you have a permit to carry a weapon? Have you purchased any weapons legally? A hunting license? Do you own a home and pay real estate taxes?
I’m curious where you draw the line or are you just bloviating?

Does this set a precedent for registration of non-taxed firearms?
Bloviating of course.So you are saying that you have no cans nor SBRs then? Do you have a permit to carry a weapon? Have you purchased any weapons legally? A hunting license? Do you own a home and pay real estate taxes?

I have never bought an NFA item.Have to ask. Are you saying or implying you've never bought a NFA item?
I have never bought an NFA item.
SBRs and cans for thee but not for me.

Only life, but I lack the constitution for suicide and I have commitments that I must fulfill that take priority over my preferences.Do you participate in anything you disagree with?
This. Not a big deal for suppressors but being able to actually SBR all of my pistols will be nice.I have a few SBRs but I'd still pistol it just to skip the paperwork. Or pistol it when leaving TN at least
I'd pay twice as much if I could skip the paperwork and records.
Only life
No a stupid parliamentarian citing the Byrd rule kept it out…. Was a bunch of BSThe Byrd Rule kept the removal of them from NFA from making it through the Senate.
While I disagree with removing them, the parliamentarian was actually applying the Byrd rule correctly. Had the democrats not challenged the inclusion of the HOA and Short act as written, the parliamentarian wouldn’t be in the conversation.No a stupid parliamentarian citing the Byrd rule kept it out….

Is $0.00 truly still a tax now? Does this $0.00 no fee open other aplicable avenues for challenges? Was NFA approved under Congress taxing power?
Not really. As I stated before, the tax is still there. The tax is $0 but it is still there in the form of a tax. Now that the precedent has been set to alter the previous tax of $200 (explicitly defined in the heinous act) the new $0 tax could real easily become a $10,000 tax. This was no win and will prove to be a real loss in the not distant future.Does this set a precedent for registration of non-taxed firearms?
