This sounds like a good idea, but only for the immediate future. I would think if the NFA repealed this law for silencers, it could be reinstated just a few years from now. Only then, it wouldn't be $200 anymore. It would be the equivalent of what $200 was back when it was first put into law. Which would really screw future generations. But no one thinks of that now. $200 thirty years from now would be like $20 then. And there would be no issue with paying an extra $20. There would be no "safe hearing act" mentioned because $20 isn't that much on top of a $600 silencer. The silencer companies want this to go through because they want your money NOW. They don't care you have to pay an extra $200, they just want to sell more silencers. So, I'm sure I'm the minority on this, but if you wanna screw future generations, go ahead and support this. I'd leave it alone.

Sure, I'd love to have more silencers, but with the innovations they have now with one silencer for many hosts, a bunch of silencers isn't necessary anymore.

Without a tax stamp needed, more companies would build integral suppressed guns as the norm. That would be cool

Yeah, we should just give up, and accept our chains

If anyone thinks this would, 1) pass both houses of Congress, 2) be signed in to law by this President, you should get your head examined.

It's completely useless bullshit.

I think most people would have said that we'd be dreaming just to think of someone introducing it, let alone multiple legislators sponsoring it. It's only useless if we give up on it.

Minority for sure. You want to wait longer, be more restricted, and pay the government more money in hopes that the value of the dollar is inflated by a magnitude in 30 years. You could also increase this outdate amount to $2000, to restore the original intent of the restriction (poor people shouldn't have fun). Your statement amounts to "if I hide away in this corner it will be safe to come out in 30 years, probably."

while i agree that it stands a snowball's chance in hell of el-presidente signing it, it still deserves all the attention we can give it to our elected officials in the house and senate.


defeatist attitudes are our worst enemy by far.

Hahahaha! Go for it guys! Yeah! Rock the Vote!

Just be sure you know who started this (a silencer company) and what bandwagon you're jumping on. This type of stuff screws the future generations and you're in the "I want it now" mentality. You have no problem paying taxes everyday, and your complaining about this? The tax can not be raised as is. "The $200 tax was quite prohibitive at the time (equivalent to $3,538 in 2015). With a few exceptions, the tax amount is unchanged.[3][4]" That's actually great news, but you want more. You could be paying that amount ($3,538), and you're whining about $200? Don't give me that "I don't want to give my $ to the gov't!" You do it everyday... Better yet, here's a copy and pasted list of taxes you're NOT bitching about, and should be. Right now, I mean RIGHT NOW, you're using something that requires you to pay the gov't.


Accounts Receivable Tax

Building Permit Tax

Capital Gains Tax

CDL license Tax

Cigarette Tax

Corporate Income Tax

Court Fines (indirect taxes)

Again, just stop and think about this, or any other type of issue like this. If I was "anti-gun" (which I'm not), I would WANT this to pass. Just to reinstate it later, with an even higher tax, and think to myself "suckers!" Because that would really limit silencer sales and probably put any companies that are involved with that out of business.

Silencer sales are higher than ever right now-and you want to change that?
