Only $500? I figured they would take it up much more than that to recreate the penalty it was meant to be when it was put in place decades ago. Another classist law.
Not saying that I support it but am not surprised. Figured it was coming, would be horrible for the suppressor industry if it passes.
They also included a clause regarding the tax going up as inflation goes up. SMH.Only $500? I figured they would take it up much more than that to recreate the penalty it was meant to be when it was put in place decades ago. Another classist law.

Amen to this.The National Firearms Act, in all of its permutations, was a product of the prohibition era where gun violence associated with organized crime and bootlegging was sensationalized by the media. But, just as the 18th amendment never stopped alcohol consumption, NFA has never stopped gun violence.
And ever evolving NFA rulings and regulations, coupled with higher taxes won't either. Like the old joke ... BATFE should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
$500 dollars? Make it shall-issue and stamp issued within 30 days. Remove suppressors from the NFA.
That's the starting point of discussions.
