Update: A Senate committee has added the Short Act to the "Big Beautiful Bill". The Short Act would take short barreled rifles and shotguns out of the National Firearms Act.

Suppressor. Not silencer.

Before I got my suppressors, I had a law firm create a gun trust for me (that was the way to go back then). Then add the cost of the suppressors and $200 tax stamp for each one, fingerprint cards, and it adds up to $$$$. The worst part is that I had to wait on average 9 months or longer after ordering through my class 3 FFL dealer (best to order multiples at a time). I have no idea why the ATF took so long. And I do not like the idea of the government knowing what I have. If it goes through and becomes law, for sure I’m going to get some SBR’s and more suppressors. I guess I’d be able to hand them down to my sons without any government paperwork?

I would love that! Take the SBR and Silencer provision out of the NFA! They were nothing but unconstitutional gun grabs!

If this passes I wonder if there will be a distinction between regulated items and non. That is those taxed and those not. Will you still need to keep the tax stamp with the regulated item and inform the atf before moving them out of state? I don’t think these details have been decided or discussed.

Don’t Trump ban the bump-stocks?
He shouldn’t talk too much about 2nd amendment type issues. Or has he apologized for that?

So the precious little Dem parl is gonna let that regulatory change slip in, but not the funding for deportations (which isn’t a regulatory change), etc.?

Just saw the latest Senate bill includes removing AOWs too! “Any Other Weapon” (AOW), are used to prohibit derringer like guns, foregrips on pistols, etc. Basically, anything the ATF wants to say is a controlled item.

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

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

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...
