    Taxing gun suppressors as a means of gun control was dumb. Eliminating the tax was dumb. People’s fascination with mid-20th century military technology and their self-obsessive “I’m the PC in a video game” mentality is sicko shit. The whole American experiment in lobbyist-guided gun control legislation is such a fucking joke.

    Just reading about it never fails to blackpill me.

      They wanted to remove the tax altogether but they couldn’t, so the tax was set to $0 instead. Now there is a lawsuit saying the tax is illegal altogether because it is an illegal federal firearm registry, which will uktimately remove the nfa restrictions anyway.
