My $0 Tax Stamp Rant

[Maser]

Most people here know I bounce around multiple gun related forums and after this BBB passage, I keep reading how this is a win for us. How the fuck is it a win?! Just because you save $200 ($5 for AOW), you still have to go through the same bullshit hoops and hurdles to exercise your Second Amendment right. And worse yet, now your FFL/SOT that you buy your NFA items from will know you have an extra $200 in your pocket and will raise the price of their products. I sure as fuck would if I was in the business!

Look, I get that the journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step, but that first step is NOT a win. It's the final step at the 1,000 mile mark that's officially the win. I'm not much of a superstitious person, but I believe that this early victory dance that so many folks are doing is gonna jinx us and we will lose that first step progress. So let's focus on that 1,000 mile goal instead of the preemptive celebration.

Rant over. Now let's get those grills ready!

This was pandering. The $200 was never an issue. Nobody on the pro 2a side cared about the $200. If they had removed them from the NFA and left the $200 in as a tax paid by the manufacturer, nobody would have even bitched about it. This isn't a victory, it's your overlords throwing you scraps so the peasants will shut up for a while.

It's an evil plan. Now, the SC can say, it's not a burden on your 2a right, it's just a form to fill out.

Good bad or indifferent...

Just because (in this case) the republicans used a procedural trick to REDUCE the "tax" to zero means the democraps can use the exact same trick to make the "tax" any number they want when they're in power.

Its all a game to them and we're just pawns bring used.

(To the tune of Mickey Mouse) F U C K E D A G A I N... FUCKED AGAIN... O we R, Fucked again, YES we R...

And that's the scary part. They can bring the tax back and then account for inflation and that $200 from 1934 will be almost $5,000 today!

GOA already announced the moment it's signed they're filing a lawsuit, chill. Yea we didn't want to go the long way around, but at least it's happening. Also they're directly attacking the NFA, so it may pay off even more so.

We are gonna get ReFucked when the Lunatics steal the election just saying....

Couple ways to look at it. If its still on the NFA it cant be reclassified as not a firearm. Not sure if its in common use, but guessing no. If they removed if from the NFA a lot of the states would immediately ban them and nothing could be done because it wouldnt be a firearm and wouldnt fall under protection of the 2A. Its an inconvenience to secure it because we're dealing with retards on the other side that will do anything they can to end it all. It sounds like removing entirely from the NFA would open doors for them that would be hard to close. It sucks ya... but oh well. I got parts ordered to build 2 more suppressors.. Im happy about it.

The SC has set 250K for that threshold. There are millions of suppressors in legal use.

Ya, but they have always been able to raise the tax if they can get enough votes in the house and senate with a president that will sign it. This didn't change that.
