Sorry, pages 261-262.

 

[Mrs_Esterhouse]

This bill removes the tax stamp registry and fees. SBRs and SBSs become normal gun long gun purchases and suppressors also come off the NFA registry and tax stamp scheme.

The only things that will remain untouched on the NFA are machineguns and destructive devices.

Where is the suppressor language?
Hopefully the House is half asleep.

If it isn't classified as a machinegun or destructive device, it's not regulated by the NFA at all anymore.

Before GOA's awesomeness in the Senate:

26 U.S. Code § 5845 - Definitions​

For the purpose of this chapter—
(a)Firearm
The term “firearm” means (1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (2) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (3) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (4) a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (5) any other weapon, as defined in subsection (e); (6) a machinegun; (7) any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code); and (8) a destructive device. The term “firearm” shall not include an antique firearm or any device (other than a machinegun or destructive device) which, although designed as a weapon, the Secretary finds by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and other characteristics is primarily a collector’s item and is not likely to be used as a weapon.

Is the SHORT Act the one where those who paid for tax stamps get refunded the cost if the bill passes? Someone at my LGS mentioned one of those bills contained that clause some time ago.

Either way, this is AMAZING. SBRs and SBSs will fly off the shelves when this passes (for stores that actually carry them).
