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.
