I saw this on the internet yesterday, and didn't pay much attention dismissing it as internet BS. Now Ive seen it a couple more times, is there any truth to this, or am I getting my hopes up for nothing?

No More $200 Tax Stamp for Suppressors? There's a Very Good Chance of That In a Trump Presidency | OutdoorHub

I think there's a good chance that if presented with bill, he'd sign it. Have to get it to his desk first....

If it ever happened, demand would skyrocket and prices would climb. Would take years to get back down. Just my thought.

I see suppressors as pipes with baffles. Cheap to make. Prices will fall big time.

I think the supply glut would be very short lived as dozens of manufacturers pop up to meet the demand. Advanced materials, complicated engineering, etc all become less necessary on what could become a disposable item (as opposed to now where people are concerned about baffle life, multi-caliber use, cleaning, etc). Lots more garage-built units as everyone with a lathe could turn one out for themselves...

Nothing personal guys, but I could see a great many with a massive case of sour grapes demanding that it NOT be passed. "why should my neighbor not have to pay the tax when I've paid it repeatedly. ITS NOT FAIR!"

But I too hope it passes.

My instinct is this is post-election euphoria. But if we could get it through the house, the senate might go ahead and pass it. Trump might be down for it if Pence puts a bug in his ear. But I'm thinking if someone actually did write the bill, it might die in some backroom legislative deal.

Yeah that bill was introduced earlier this year (or last year, I can't remember) and it's a real thing.

I know this is anecdotal, but from my perspective I don't think that's realistic. I'm waiting on two stamps right now. And while I could use that $400 now, it's water under the bridge. I would be more happy about future prospects than crying over spilled milk.

It is legit. Safe Hearing Act/Bill that was previously introduced.
I see this as a good thing. Prices may increase slightly, but with the ability to walk out that day with a suppressor I would be okay with it.
Also do not forget; you are considered a "responsible" gun owner in the EU if you purchase a suppressor, which mind you you can legally purchase at any store and walk out with that day.

I honestly dont think anyone here would do it, but I guess I have a low opinion of the general public.

nah. people say that about MG owners, too. I've known several MG owners, some w/ several, who were also the biggest donors to groups working to overturn NFA. maybe a few sour grapes, but I think that'd be a small group, esp w/ silencers. besides, who wouldn't want MORE silencers? or to be able to much easier sell/trade/upgrade?

Heck the used market it would create would help meet the immediate demand... currently, most folks don't like to buy/sell used cans due to the $200 transfer hit..

Aren't the SOT (I think that's what I'm talking about) requirements different between regular firearms and NFA items? If so, I'd think the prices would drop since it would be cheaper to manufacture. Pure speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be upset even though I've paid for stamps.

Also, what would happen with the suppressors that are currently NFA items? Do you think they would remain or just be removed from NFA?

 

[Ericpwp]

The bill is quoted in the OP.

I would not have sour grapes.

i think the wording on the bill states that any tax paid after 10/22/15 would be refunded in the form of a tax credit!

I bet some on here would. I remember a year or so ago there was a thread talking about constitutional carry in Indiana. A few were against it unless the state would refund their 100 bucks they paid for a lifetime permit.

I wasn't thinking about it from that angle. You have a point.

Man, that would be cool!

Some people are just dumb.

Even back in the "golden years" of NFA, there was a price difference between the parts kit and original guns.
