Of course, because so many criminals are abusing the system by paying the $200 tax and waiting 6-9 months for the FBI to conduct a background check before knocking off the liquor store.
Do these democrat nitwits even think before proposing these idiotic bills?
They are just deeply dishonest about the intentions of the bill...Of course, because so many criminals are abusing the system by paying the $200 tax and waiting 6-9 months for the FBI to conduct a background check before knocking off the liquor store.

Watch them get the finger.Watch them propose a bill requiring use of suppressors within x miles of a residential area next, with stipulations that the rangeowner could not transfer posession of suppressors to more the one person at a time to limit the amount of persons that could shoot at a time, driving mass amounts of shooters to pay the new tax to get a can, thus creating a more complete list of persons who own and regularly shoot firearms. /endconspiracy
well yeah. and great! - if you'll run for prez.We don't need to be creating more laws, we need to be repealing EXISTING laws.
And I am NEVER for increasing taxes. The government needs to learn to be more efficient and not just pass along its inefficiency to us expecting we'll continue to pay for it.

While I wholeheartedly agree, there's what "should happen" and what "could happen"... and right now (and probably for at least the foreseeable decade or two), FOPA ain't getting repealed, so... while we can continue to be idealistic, it can't hurt to propose amendments to new bills to try to lean them the right way.
I also have very serious doubts that NFA will ever be open to new post-86 items in my lifetime, but at least pushing back on bills like this one, with opening the books to new registrations for Class III items tells the other side where we are at...and perhaps slows their roll a bit.
AFAIK, no one on our side wants to repeal FOPA. There are just a few parts that are intolerable. It needs a technical corrections bill. So does the NFA but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish....FOPA ain't getting repealed, so...
I've never understood why the folks who purport to represent our interests don't make a big Veteran's Day deal out of the bills, introduced into every Congress, to allow another amnesty. The 1968 amnesty came and went quickly. To this day, there are WWII and Korea vets with bring-backs hidden in the attic because they didn't get them registered. It would seem to be an easy political sell to legitimize those guys by having another amnesty just like the one in 1968....with opening the books to new registrations for Class III items...
