Removal of Silencers from NFA?

[eddiememphis]

Here is what I found online-

$200 excise‑style NFA tax dropped to $0 for specific items:
Suppressors (silencers)
Short‑barreled rifles (SBRs)
Short‑barreled shotguns (SBSs)
Any Other Weapons (AOWs)
Machine guns and destructive devices remain taxed at $200

NFA regulation remains intact:
Registration (Forms 1 & 4)
Fingerprints
Background checks
ATF oversight

So while the tax is gone, the regulatory and time barriers are not.

Look for an implementation of a "filing fee" or something similar that isn't a "tax"- ask Colorado DMV how to do that one.
Also, the tax on the remaining items will jump, probably about 10x, to cover the missing revenue.

Of course the usual suspects- Brady, Anytown, Giffords- will all be filing lawsuits in blue states to get a friendly judge.

Another thing- look for the same legislation to be proposed in Democrat majority states, written by Everytown lawyers, to end the nightmare of "Silent Deaths".

Watch for state-level tax, mental health screening, waiting periods, registries and outright bans.

Guaranteed that dumb fucker Tom Sullivan will try to push one through next session.

No, just no.
While the STATE of Colorado can and will continue with it's anti-gun agenda........... they have nothing to do with a FEDERAL tax that was removed.
It's the FEDERAL Govt which oversaw, managed and collected it thru the ATF. Thats why it was in a FEDERAL level bill/law.
So no States are missing revenue, it's the ATF and Federal Govt.
And we already have several State taxes on it---- to include the 6.5 Sin tax applies to all those already and isn't affected by this.

These reactions are reminiscent of that debacle that was the "Brace ban amnesty" or whatever it was called.
People lost their minds claiming it was a trap, that they'd reverse the decision (again) and seize the guns, they weren't "real" form 1's etc etc
And in the end what happened? Nothing. Some people got free forms approved.

No dont trust any Democrat to respect our Rights but this is a big-bag-of-nothin.
Partially because as you point out, the registration etc remains............ it's just free.
