New Suppressor Law

[Larryh128]

I'm very happy that common sense might be gaining traction by eliminating a $200 tax on suppressors as of 1/26. My understanding is a 4473 form (same as a firearm purchase) will be filled out and run thru same as a firearm. The question that I have is will we be able to sell the cans we own to someone using a 4473? My class 3 guy asked this question to the agent doing his inspection, answer was I don't know. Does anyone have any insight they can share?

NFA still exist and suppressors are still apart of it. The only thing that has changed is the tax starting 1 Jan 2026. You will still do a Form 4.
Furthermore as of right now if the NFA goes away suppressors become illegal to posses in 14 states.

Thanks for the clarification.

from my reading, the process has not yet changed, it just wont cost $200

Don't forget about the retards that have reintroduce a bill for the tax stamp to be $4701. I may be wrong and I hope I am or just misunderstanding something or have it mix up but thats how I read it.

I had seen the same thing a few weeks ago. "They" wanted it to be equivalent to 200$ back in the value of 1934, which would be as you said and way more than the actual 200$.

These are still NFA firearms and transfer as such. The only difference is the transfer tax on everything other than MGs & DDs drops to $0.

4473 comes into play when a licensee transfers a firearm to a non-licensee. That is part of the GCA & has not changed.

NFA firearms may be transfered within a state to an unlicensed party or a licensed party in any state, since all firearms, including NFA firearms, are restricted across state lines. Transfer of an NFA firearm to an unlicensed party requires transfer tax payment at the specified rate, photographs, fingerprints, and the appropriate approved form from ATF before transfer is executed.

Wouldn't that be just like a politician? To openly admit that the currency has been devalued 20,000% in 90 years. And act like it's normal.

An absolute joke these are classified alongside machine guns

I think so also. I am careful though not to argue points from the position of "other countries do it this way" when talking about anything adjacent to gun rights.

I just can’t stand this whole government.
Before someone tells me to move I’ll say why? I was born here and I fought in a war that I’ve never figured out. Maybe the government should move and be sure to take the useless United Nations with them.
Have any idea what that piece of property is worth ? Billions. Overtime paid to the NYPD to guard these foreigners?

“Common sense “?
“Hi, I am from the US Government. I’m here to help you. We’re going to eliminate some taxes for you.”

 

[Larryh128]

Those with a lick of common sense used to be racists or molesters, now we are either fascists or nazis. I doubt those accusing know the definition of either.

The problem wasn’t the 200 dollar tax. It’s the fact that if you forget your piece of paper showing the correct serial number for the suppressor you are using it makes you a felon.
It’s a muffler for a rifle and nothing more. I guess you could beat somebody to death with one but personally I would use a hammer. Edk
