So, if I ‘gift’ my item for zero $, the tax is Zero, right?

Any bets on how many Judas Republicans will vote for this BS ?

[MtnClimber]

I hope it never makes it to a vote.

The FET only applies to fully-assembled weapons. Firearm parts are not subject to it. All the manufacturer has to do is sell the gun minus one part, ... say, ... the charging handle. And then give away a free charging handle (in separate packaging) with each AR (minus) sold.

No FET.

On top of which, with the current SCOTUS, this would never pass constitutional muster.
