Silencer tax is history

As I am not a lawyer, why can we not include folding stocks as an "add on" to this review of ATF tax reductions? I have several "pistols" that would benefit my shooting if they had side folding or under folding stocks?
We can nitpick this to death as we do with other issues, but it’s a step forward as tiny as it may be, imo. Let the lawsuits run their course.
From what I understand, 4473 and out the door!
Removing the tax is NOTHING
Ya still have to do finger prints/mug shots/background check/waiting period..........So basically when the amendment was gutted we really didn't accomplish much.

I keep hearing people say $200 is no big deal. I'm not poor, but that -$200 makes the diff whether or not - to me - a $400 suppressor is worth a buy. Because as suppressors become more ubiquitous, quality will go up and prices will come down. I am seeing it already.
I hate the NFA and jumping through the paperwork, fingerprinting-like-a-criminal hoops for no good reason save that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries want it so. But if you're worried about NFA registration identifying you as a gun owner, if you ever in your life filled out a 4473, guaran-damn-tee they know already.
If we want things like the NFA to go away we have to work at getting a +60 vote right-wing Senate and even more conservative justices on SCOTUS.

Justice Kennedy says "hold my beer..."
Incorrect....Under the "bill" just signed, they will not be purchasable on a 4473. They are still considered an NFA item which means Form 1, fingerprints, etc...Just no $200 tax.
Gee wiz, I’ve been fingerprinted and background checked more times than I can remember. It’s in govt records until the world ends.
CC permits, NFA, jobs, TSA pre check, etc etc.

The bill takes the tax on short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns and silencers to $0. So you would be able to add a stock to a pistol via a Form 1 without paying the "making tax."

Some of us in the gun community have become whining crybabies like the liberal socialist who oppose our freedoms. When things don't go exactly the way we want, we begin to cry the song of victimhood, instead of celebrating our victories. We can scream about the NFA registry all we want but if it ever "goes away", I'll kiss your rosey red fanny in the middle of court square. I became an FFL/SOT Class 3 in the early 1990's and no one dislikes the registry more than me but it is NOT going to be reversed. I am a machinegun enthusiast and most posters screaming about the "registry" are only protecting their personal interest in suppressors, while allowing other collectibles or firearm genre's to languish. Thanks for leaving me behind. I personally celebrate the abolition of the tax stamp for suppressors, even if they are still on the registry. It's an incredible step in the right direction, and maybe next time we can take back even more ground. Here's hoping that your community's interest will eventually be removed from the registry.
I will not hide in the woods nor bury my firearms. I have no freedom in secret. My attention to the representative government of my nation will always accomplish to goals of the "Founders"..."We the people", not, we the government.
I apologize in advance for those who will be butt-hurt by my position. I encourage you to step outside, face the flag, place your hand over your heart and repeat the Pledge of Allegiance.
Thanks Smith and Wesson for your re-commitment to our Constitution.

In a non NFA world, the definition of the ideal brush gun looks exactly like what you don't think you want
You’ll be able to with this new legislation, I believe. Just form 1 an SBR for the pistol, and add a stock. NFA paperwork isn’t burdensome, and approval times are very short compared to the year+ that they used to be.
It’s not perfect, but it isn’t particularly onerous, either
Surely, you jest!
What did you say, I couldn't hear you, my hearing has gone bad from shooting all these years.

Suppressors are NOT considered firearms already. This has already been litigated in the courts, so no, there's no "double edged sword."

The fact that most of us just shoot without suppressors has spurred the innovation and production of some really good hearing protection. First Muffs and now the in the ear canal type. I finally got some electronic muffs for fathers day and they work great. In the early next though i’ll not be able to wear my hearing aids lol.
As far as SBR’s i will continue to just be a 7.5 AR Pistol guy with attached “Brace” but nice to know i could turn it into an SBR for $0.

They always had that option. They can put it back at $200, or they can go crazy with it by going $5000. With the make up of the court in modern times and with Heller, McDonald, Bruen, I don't believe it will stand in court. With the tax gone and millions more owning SBRs, SBS, "other-weapons," etc., that may also bring them under the umbrella of "in common use." The removal of the tax may also get the aforementioned taken off the NFA at least for a few years.
