The bill is so terrible that yeah, I'd 100% keep the $200 fee to not be fucked over in nearly other aspect of my life as a citizen.

While having the NFA gone would be exciting, I'm always going to urge everyone around me to learn a little bit more about the rest of this and other bills, and see what the overall benefit or harm will be

Don’t be misled by the carrot on the stick amenities on this bill….sure,I’d love to see the Hughes amendment disappear,the tax bullshit and registration (just a convenience for Feds to make lists)…hell,scrap the entire NFA….id be all giggles,but what lays underneath all these sugar coated goodies they keep dangling around?

Still haven’t heard anything about the free rein of AI for 10 years that’s unable to be regulated by the states..it’s still in this bill..

Still haven’t heard anything about “emergency inoculations” being unable to be refused for any reason….its still in this bill..

Seriously…..would the masses jump for joy (those that enjoy weapons,collecting,shooting,whatever) to be able to get a suppressor for zero tax yet still register it?

What about SBR’s?…..is everyone willing to give up even more freedoms in order to put a stock on a 10 inch barreled receiver without paying $200????

The Hughes amendment has already been found to be unconstitutional,this was decades ago,the republicans know what you want,this is why its dangled in front of everyone,they want your support so the more draconian parts of this bill is passed as well…and don’t count on the NRA for squat,the NRA was one of the architects and advisors for the Hughes amendment to begin with,just another Washington lobby group..

Get rid of those two examples I stated first (Ai and unrefuseable medical) and then we can talk about more support.

The price barrier removed makes adoption of both much more widespread, and opens up the door for lawsuits.

Ultimately, the removal of the fee is the best outcome, and does represent a win. Removing the registration aspect is separate from budgetary policy, but now it is open to lawsuits because the issue is registration now, and it can't be considered a tax now.

The right politicians were clearly not bribed and/or threatened to act in the best interests of the country.

There’s so much bad shit that’s in that Bill. I’m perfectly fine if we don’t get waived fees for silencers and SBR’s.

What was the reason why they even removed/messes with the original HPA/Short Act? I haven’t seen anything about why it was taken out. Who did it?
