Guess we will know in the morning? *update*

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

So is still on the NFA? What a joke. If so its a 99% loss. The hoops and BS and legal sht you have to go through and then the fines and penalties if not I couldnt care less about the $200. Its all the other BS that is the problem. Needs to be OFF the NFA. If they want to classify it as a firearm no problem, that would assure it cant be banned, and if I have to get a background check at a gun store to buy one thats fine. And I can make one myself with no serial just like a firearm. Thats fine.... Amending just to get rid of the $200..... they can shove that up their ......
It’s off the NFA and the $200 tax has been removed due to the Byrd rule (aka KKK grand wizard).
It will be classified as a firearm requiring a form 4473.

Still has to go thru the senate and signed by DJT. By using budget reconciliation to add the HPA the republicans avoided the senate filibuster and will require a simple majority to move out of the senate. Vance will be the tiebreaker.

So in the states where they are currently illegal what happens? I’m assuming they stay illegal but the penalty is no longer a felony? Maybe trumps doj will pursue this under the civil liberties like they’re talking about doing with awb bans and magazines bans? Opens the door to easier court challenges?

One of those cocksuckers fell asleep during the vote!
 
FIFY. House target was Memorial Day.

Murkowski and Collins are likely the worst on the RINO side to sacrifice this measure on the Senate version.
Yes Memorial Day it’s corrected thanks.

Murkowski and Collins I’m sure will vote no plus the turtle McConnell so that would be 50/50 with Vance as the tiebreaker.

I don’t think Cornyn will vote no as he is getting primaried and attacked to his right by AG Paxton so don’t believe Cornyn would risk voting against Trumps Big Beautiful Bill it would cement his primary loss for sure in Texas. Cornyn’s a democrat but he’s not that stupid.

Keeping it legally a firearm is allegedly to keep them under 2A protection. I get the logic but the actual problem is California and similar states would go after them if they weren’t under the 2A for sure. At least this way there’s some reasonable defense against their infringements of the people’s rights.

McBitch is certainly a wild card in this one.

The biggest problem for it is Collins is the chair of the Appropriations Committee plus Murkowski and McBitch are both on it as well. That’s a major threat for it to be stripped in committee and never hit the floor vote. I still give it <3% survival chance.

I’m no attorney but that’s the legal theory they are espousing.

If Trump wants this bad enough he'll make a backroom deal with those scumbags and get it through . Nothing like some pork to grease the wheels of American politics.

I mean... there's legal theory... then there examples like Illinois banning AR15s for years while it's tied up in courts despite being clearly unconstitutional directly called out by the SC.
AR15s, AKs, SKS with detachable mags, pistols that accept a magazine anywhere but the grip (think Flux Raider), pistols with threaded barrels, any semi-auto with a pistol grip (including shotguns), thumb hole or folding stock, any 50 BMG, any semi-auto rifle with a flash suppressor, any semi-auto rifle with a fixed magazine greater than 10 rounds, any belt-fed semi-auto and now they are working on banning all Glocks specifically.

They're totally not coming for our guns though.

I read that Collins was the chair but didn’t know the other two were all on the same committee.

Does Elaine Chao need to be an ambassador somewhere in the Mediterranean along the Amalfi coastline?

Trump scratched Mitch’s back in his first term maybe it will happen again? :cool:
 
So IMO you are going to see quality go up. Right now the only suppliers are the ones who have done the licensing to manufacture them. Gun people are assuming the present companies are making the best product available. I believe when you open it up to any manufacturer you are going to see better ways, more innovative ideas and higher quality from larger companies with better tooling.

Also with competition prices will lower and selection will increase. Yes you are going to have junk come into the market for someone that is trying to make a buck.
Yup. Look at the optics, precision rifle, and AR industry the last 10-15 years. Absolute explosion.

$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

https://rules.house.gov/sites/evo-s...l-to-bill_bills-119pih_to_rcp_119-3_final.pdf


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.
The one that sets me off is money for babies.

Why should Joe and Sally get a free thousand and the rest of us dont. Isn't that kind of like college debt forgiveness? Or the old welfare where skank gets more pay for each kid...which she gives to her 'man' for coke and booze?

Where's my K?

My guess is that suppressors will remain illegal in Illinois in perpetuity. That is until the courts, as they did for concealed carry, impose a mandate. I will not hold my breath. SCOTUS just doesn't have the urgency.
In the individual states where they are banned, they will remind banned. This whole rigmarole has nothing to do with individual state's laws.
