We got ‘til 1am on the HPA/SHORT Act🚨

[tstover]

At this point, I would just take repealing the Hughes Amendment. THAT would bring machine gun prices down big time.

would be awesome but hard. I think FRT triggers are the best way to get MGs back. If something become common enough, it starts falling outside of the regulations. Think AR pattern rifles are so common it would be challenging for them to be banded federally at this point.
If there 100million FRTs out there in circulation, they will be common. The argument that are MGs are anymore dangerous than something already legalized becomes relevant

I guess taxes aren't taxes.


Don't worry; JD will fix her ass.

Can you explain what this means? They are removing it from the bill?

Despite the US Supreme Court ruling that the $200 NFA fee is a tax, the Senate parliamentarian, who is an appointed Democrat, ruled that the SHORT and HPA acts were not related enough to the budget to be included in the BBB under Senate budget reconciliation rules. The rule where anything included in the budget reconciliation bill must be related to fiscal policy and the budget is called the Byrd rule. The parliamentarian claims these acts somehow failed the Byrd rule despite the fact they both eliminate the $200 federal tax on short barreled guns and silencers.

So there’s a good chance these will get axed? I wish they would just push SHORT and/or HPA through as a separate bill. We have majority in both chambers and the President would sign it. SMH.

I didn’t realize it was 53/45 in the senate. That’s crazy good odds. But republicans have no balls so I don’t know why I remain hopeful.

No, I think JD Vance will overrule the parliamentarian on SHORT and HPA and several other key pieces of legislation in the BBB. The president of the Senate (Vance) is allowed to overrule the parliamentarian.

They can't do SHORT and HPA as separate bills because they would require 60 votes in the Senate to pass under the filibuster rules. The only topic which does not require 60 votes for passage and only requires a simple majority is budget reconciliation. That's why these two must be included in the BBB otherwise they have zero chance of getting 60 votes for passage separately.

Why is there a crazy eyed white liberal cunt that can even try to decide these things? Our government is full of trash people.
