Your Rights Remain Infringed - The Silencers and Short Guns Taxes Are Removed from the Tax Bill (Not Correct)

 The Senate Parliamentarian, a Democrat, has chosen to remove the tax-removal portion for firearms under the budget bill. For the most part, the vast majority of the bill was gut. I don't know if anything can be salvaged but at this point, your rights will continue to be infringed. The Democratic Party of these United States has chosen to support the precedence that taxes on your constitutionally protected rights is acceptable. I wonder if those same Democrats would accept a tax on your right to vote?

It stinks but keep up the push. This is the closest we've ever been to restoring a major part of our rights. It may have taken 90 years to get here and it might take another 90 years to actually restore our rights but we can get there. The war against our freedom never ends so we can't stop fighting back either. Remember that in the 90's our nation went from major infringements on the "bear" part of keep-and-bear. In 2025, more than half the country is now constitutionally carry and Shall Issue permits are the minimum. We are taking back ground stolen by us under the guise of Progress even if it's very slow. As a parting piece, remember that the Lord God above's plan is perfect. Maybe we don't get this but this could also save us from something worse like Democrats adding regular AR rifles to the NFA via the same method. Never give up even when it hurts.

Edit: I was thankfully wrong. I had interpreted incorrectly what was happening with the Parliamentarian. I am sorry as I have misled you. What actually happened was she had made a recommendation to remove. Apparently, she can be ignored. Anyway, after doing additional digging around, the BBB did move forward from the Senate with a provision to reduce the $200 to something like $0 instead of the deregulation which is preferred. Sadly, it just means that you are still registering and having to deal with the worst part which is the administrative junk that goes with owning a Title 2 device. 

Again, please accept my apologies for a misleading statement. I will endeavor to serve you better.

Update 01 JUL - The $0 tax has gone through and the BBB is on it's way to the House for a vote. The House could make changes and send it back or they can approve. Anything can still happen. 

Anything did happen and the Representative from Georgia Andrew Clyde, the owner of Clyde's Armory none-the-less, submitted an amendment to start this process back onto the correct track of de-regulation. I have not heard if that amendment made it into the House Committee yet and if it made it back into the BBB. If it does, the BBB will go back to the Senate.

Because of how much is changing and the speed which it does, I'm not going to keep updating until we see this bill go to the President. I'll update then or post something new about what changes we can expect.

Okay, last update. The Clyde Amendment did not make it through the Committee.

We Appeal to Heaven to have our rights de-infringed.

Post Signing Update: The passed bill that Trump has signed reducing the $200 tax to $0 for suppressors, short barrel guns and Any Other Weapons which goes into effect around January of next year. I've also heard October but I don't know which it is. You still have to registered these device but there is no tax paid for them for the time being. Court cases have been filed to fight the registration process as it conflicts with FOPA 1986. We'll see how those cases go.
