Thank you

So Trump asked for it. And I know it was overturned.
Trump is not always correct and he has been wrong before.
I don’t like cult of personality crap.

[vpintheak]

To be seen. I am not a fan of the cult of personality group think that happens. So I will wait and see.

Actually, the Senate parliamentarian just stripped these provisions from the bill. Back to square one.

Interesting. Would you happen to have a link? I would like to read it and be able to cite it.

It's NBC ...so take it with a grain of salt...

Thune already said he wouldn't try to over-rule the parliamentarian.

That is a lot of power for an un-elected (Harry Reid appointed Elizabeth MacDonough in 2012) position, giving HER "line-item veto" power on items she claims (under the Byrd-rule) are not related to taxes or spending.

[CodeToad]

Of course the NFA is nothing but a tax, therefore these changes should stand as they are technically removing a taxable item.

[CodeToad]

Silence Central and Silencer Shop would both desire to fight this bill. Stupidly, though, as they would make far more money selling millions of silencers if this bill passes.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Now if only they would get rid of the National Firearms Act completely.

Thank you.

I said “if”. It’s a big “if”.

[SuperLuminal]

For a 92-year-old, like me, silencers and zero taxes on SS mean I can spend more time at the range and my wife can spend more time at the MGM...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

All of them. The verb, suppress, is defined as...to reduce or eliminate, as in noise.

Silence is the absence of sound. Suppression indicates a reduction of noise. Not silence.

[CodeToad]

The law, which you obviously have not read, defines the term ‘silencer’. It does not say ‘suppressor’.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Don’t care. It’s a simple example of semantics. I wasn’t talking about what the law says. The two words are similar but not completely interchangeable.

Hiram maxim got a patent for a silencer. He was the first one. That’s what he named it. That was also the name of it in federal law. Modern tacticool kids who stick their Glock down the front of their pants aimed right at their penis call it a suppressor.
