The cap on my bicycle's tire stems looked like this in Texas, when I was in grade school and spent most of my free time riding about.
I knew you were all about the thug life and that post confirms it.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA
- Thread starter stefan73
- Start date
Sigh. I don't get it. I feel excluded . . .
I thought the 3rd circuit court just ruled they were arms? So, unless congress passes this bill, it will be heading to the SC.
Please share a case name or number or something. Sorry, I do not recall a Third Circuit ruling on the issue, but I would like to see it.
After doing some more research, suppressors are illegal in California (California Penal Code 33410 PC), but just for civilians. Manufacturers and LEO are exempt.
Seems like if someone at the fed level of politicians had some guts and wasn't just the usual garbage, you could pass a federal preemption bill using the interstate commerce clause (that the democrats have used for 100+ years to have fed rule over everything), to make it so States couldn't ban guns or knives or accessories that are federally legal and even have penalties for those who try.
But of course that's a bit of a dream.

Back when all bicycle tires used tubes that had Schrader valves to inflate them, it was possible for a valve to back out and/or leak. That valve cap he showed in the picture could be used to tighten or replace a leaking Schrader valve.
Ok, it was 5th.. and it was technically with withdrawal of their feb. 3 judge panel ruling confirming lower court that it wasn't an arm. Waiting for them to actually rule it actually IS, or wait if this new bill passes. I mean, pulling their prior ruling is about as close as it gets.
Fifth Circuit Takes Unusual Step in Suppressor Case

I knew about the Fifth Circuit's opinion, and I knew about the DOJ's weak brief that was filed, which some trumpeted but maybe did not read. As quoted in that article, the DOJ took the position that the NFA tax and registration scheme was consistent with the Second Amendment. They did, however, take the possession that "accessories" should be protected. They did not take the position that silencers are arms.
But I did not know about the Fifth Circuit withdrawing their opinion. That is interesting.
It still is not likely to go to the Supreme Court, however. Just as with the AR15 issue, the highest court wants more circuit court decisions out there before it wades into the fray. One will not do.
I actually rode the tread off of some tires. Removing the stem to deflate the innertube was the easiest way to deflate it to change the tire.
I would guess the Texas statute is for spike strips, but vague is vague and misinterpreted on a whim.
How a tool gets used is up to the person using it.
The government doesn't own it. That's the point. We have them managing it for us. They have no business selling what is not theirs.
Yes public asset. Used by millions, some people make a living off it, it drives hundreds of local economies. Yes public land is an asset to the public.
They don’t own it they just can tell you what you can and can’t do on it. Sell it back to the people, private ownership and private sector is better and more efficient then government controlled.

Peterson's attorneys also argued that the DOJ's position opens the door to taxing and registering all firearms in the future, though it noted that "the Government apparently recognizes that such a result would be untenable."
So Friday is when the Byrd Rule objections will be lodged by the Democrats to the NFA provisions.
I am now on the edge of my seat.
SOrry, I got my news feeds crosssed. I thought that rep from Minn was a US Rep. State Rep. Will edit...
Yeah we really do not know what will happen with the Short Act and removing silencers from the NFA. If at least 47 GOP Senators vote yes, the Vance can be the tie breaker given that it is reconciliation. In the House, the GOP can have a couple no votes and still pass it if I am not mistaken?

They have already been doing so with anything they can think of. That’s why some provisions have already been removed. But the short act and Suppressors (not silencers) directly relate to taxes. They should be safe under the Byrd Rule.
Why 47?
Are three Democrats voting for it?
We need 50 votes plus Vance, or 51 straight up, which means two or, at most, three can defect. And some might due to the lack of fiscal discipline in the bill.
So do I. I didn’t say it as a prediction, I said it as a statement of the current situation. And ‘should’ was used because shit happens.
We see what we want to see.
A lot of people like communism *because they make a lot of money from it *cough*jews*cough*A lot of people like communism until they can make money from it.
You are not wrong at all, but a majority is 51 votes, not 47.

Are you thinking six of them do not show up and vote on the :"Big, Beautiful Bill?"
Where is my $5K DOGE dividend that trump hyped when they first kicked DOGE off? Or was that like all the other shit that was just to divert eyes & logical thinking?
Use that to pass constitutional carry nationwide too
Smh at people that don’t know what a valve stem tool is

We should be expanding tech ed. Instead they are shrinking it to make room for needing 2 foreign language classes to graduate
You may not get the $5K but hopefully the DOGE cuts will take place during the rescission process.
Tell me if I'm wrong on this.
The text for the HPA and the SHORT act says, in part:
"EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendments made by this section shall apply to calendar quarters beginning more than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act."
Let's say the Big Beautiful Bill is signed by President Trump on July 3rd.
90 days shall have elapsed on October 1st, which is the beginning of the 4th quarter. By my calculations the effective date will be January 1, 2026.
Thoughts?

I laughed when it was first thumped out there, as it was just more carrot & stick, mouth magic from a tick. I do not trust anything/body until, it/they can be. I have,... Never,... trusted any politician, and I damn sure do not trust the trumpster because of his huge ego.
Modern society is why there are labels on the dessicant pack that say "do not eat."
You forgot the one, about stopping the engine before changing the belt/s. First time I seen that, I could not believe my eyes.
Thank the little hat lawyers and judges.
Most kids in Chicago graduate without being able to read or write English. Not sure what you're talking about.
Well, surprise! They voted against it. None of went through! I bet that land grab did tho. JD Vance could have voted as well as a couple others but they did not. It’s all a game. You aren’t represented and haven’t been for I don’t even know how long.
I do not think that there has been any vote at all.
Could you please provide a link?
The Senate Parliamentarian has declared the NFA provisions to be not budget related.
Senator Thune already said last night he is not going to challenge parliamentary decisions - WTH?
So maybe it is a done deal, maybe not.
Contact Sen. Thune.
Contact your state's two Senators.
Contact the Vice President, who is the presiding officer in the Senate and has the power to decide this. The Parliamentarian simply advises.
