Look at it this way. There will be a hell of a lot more SBR making them even more “in common use”.

Ok, and everything else in the bill, the separation of powers stuff, giving ICE a budget larger than the Marine Corps???

Ugh. Do you really want this little tidbit at the cost of so much else? Single issue voting on a bill is BAD, look at the WHOLE bill.

If your going to be forced to take it up the poop shoot you might as well take the reach around.

Is this on F1 stuff too? I vaguely remember it only applied to F4 stuff in the early stages.

So what... I'll have to do another form1 but just fee? The form1 is the bigger issue.

The registration now only serves as an illegal registry…

Supreme Court won't even take up assault weapon bans. I feel confident stating that they're not going to grant cert in an NFA challenge.

I’m a bit confused/out of the loop about this. Would it mean I could print suppressors without worrying about the ATF getting on my ass?

...which opens things up for a lawsuit.

some states need the registration in order to comply with state laws.

I don't care all that much about the fee, I care that a rifle with a 15.9" barrel has twice the restrictions of one with a 16" barrel. It's completely illogical, and the only reason it exists is because a bunch of pearl-clutchers tried to ban pistols 90 years ago.

Ian from Forgotten Weapons put it perfectly in his video on NFA restrictions: the only reason these regulations still exist is to provide an easy avenue to ban pistols at some point in the future.

Rest of the bill is a complete shit show still, and not worth in the long run. They should just do a separate bill to kill off NFA stamps. They have the numbers for it.

I pulled the trigger on another suppressor 3weeks ago because I knew this would be the case. Beyond that, if it did make it into law there would be 90 days before it went into effect, as well as a huge run on suppressors possibly causing a shortage for a year or more. Just wasn’t worth the wait. My approval took 3days.

This is not worth the debt they’re putting the country in. It’s not worth the elimination of healthcare for the poorest Americans, it’s not worth the furthering of a police state.
