We got ‘til 1am on the HPA/SHORT Act🚨

[aFarewellToKings]

There are already big differences.

aFarewellToKings Ken is correct. Major differences, which unfortunately includes NFA stuff. The fact that the Senate then has to vote again after the House on it is mind-boggling.

I'm confused. The house already has big changes to the senate version? I didn't think they had even seen it yet.

If the senate made changes and approved it, and then the house approves the same thing, the same version has been approved by the two houses. Why would the senate need to approve the same thing again?
It only goes back to the house because there were changes from what they already approved.

So, the Senate made big changes, which then go back to the House to approve and potentially make MORE changes (I hope that doesn't happen). My understanding is that, either way, the Senate has to do a final vote on it anyways before POTUS gets it. I know, bureaucracy.

Mrs_Esterhouse mentioned that the House likely is getting an amendment done to it now to re-include the NFA $0 tax stamp since the Parliamentarian struck it down in the language that it had been in the bill (though my understanding is that the $0 tax stamp portion was amended in the Senate, but Esterhouse said this was not the case).

It’s all so confusing ! My simple 75 year old , future dementia mind can’t comprehend it all ! But the one thing I’m sure of is , NO UNELECTED PERSON SHOULD HAVE MORE POWER THAN THE HOUSE OR SENATE ! Trump needs to throw her ass out ! She’s a Democrat appointee !

House Republican files amendment to revert Trump-endorsed 'big, beautiful bill' back to initial House version

[Mrs_Esterhouse]

But I thought this was added back in the Senate/amended to state $0 tax stamp?

He's adding it back with the $0 tax and the NFA registry killing language.

Makes some pretty valid points. They did nothing to keep illegals from being on Medicare or the government supporting them . Senate to big of a rush . Let it set until after the 4th , not going to hurt a thing . Get rid of the Parlimentarian !

Just read where Mr Clyde put his amendment back in as it was before going to the Senate. Also read where they’re going to try to get it passed as it came back from the Senate tomorrow . Read there’s 20+ hard Republican NO’s against the Senate version.

I think we need another Civic episode of school house rocks.

I called the office of Andrew Clyde today took right at a minute I also let them know I had left the store and was a repeat customer. I just stated that I’m behind the big bill act and I support the hearing protection ac. Takes 1 minute of your time guys!

This is the language that was included in the bill that was passed by the Senate yesterday. For those who don't read legaleez, what it says is that the tax for transferring or making a suppressor, short-barreled rifle, or short-barreled shotgun is now $0. The $200 tax is still in place for machineguns and destructive devices.
