We got ‘til 1am on the HPA/SHORT Act🚨

I hope

At best they remove the tax but keep the nfa registry of them.

I agree to this .... why you may ask; on the registry they are some-what "protected" off they can at any time simply ban them completely..........

How does the registry "protect" them? Any banning legislation simply names the offending evil item and they're gone. NFA simply says "if" you trade in these items, these are the rules. Does nothing to say you must allow trade of those items.
I could be completely wrong.

From all the analysis I have absorbed this past week, the Senate is much more receptive to the SHORT and HPA than the House.

That's good news.

So what's the bigger boogey man for the left? Thugs shoving shortened 'weapons of war' down their pants or James Bond 'silent' assassins?
Whichever they are most skeered of will be surrendered in the name of compromise. 🤮

Not to mention, if they are removed, there will be 10's of millions sold in the first year. Then the powers that be would have to contend with the "in common use" aspect.

Regardless, the whole thing is asinine... You'll fine me for taking the muffler off my car, but you'll imprison me for putting one on my gun.

I'd really like some cans. But tax or not, if they stay NFA items, won't do it. The fact this still treats a freaking accessory as a "firearm" is absurd.
But I guess you take the wins they so graciously bestow.

Oh NO we have the I want it all now generation

There has never been a compromise... Just take, take, take. Compromise means both sides sacrifice a little. Returning to the people what was stolen, that which was once an unabridged/uninfringed right, is not compromise... It's restitution!

The problem with us conservatives is we tend to be idealistic and want all or nothing. The liberals will take whatever they can get whenever they can get it. They play the long game better. If we can get the tax dropped, we should. If we can get it completely erased we should. Changing governance is a ground game. You take what you can get and you keep pushing till you have it all.

My two cents.

Of course. Sadly we all live in this jacked up reality instead where we take nothing and grovel for what is bestowed.

The reality is this may not be a "now or never" opportunity but it's likely a "now or never in our lifetime" opportunity. If we should be thankful or glad about the removal of an unconstitutional tax as a "win", I guess my giddiness died long ago. Repeal the NFA. If it's done item by item, then yes, better than nothing. If it's piece mealed in steps by something like the tax, we'll never see "victory".
