Shouldn't be a tax, "shall not be infringed. .... unless it is cool, quiet, scary looking, auto" must be missing from what I've seen but apparently it is there.ssracer wrote:Sadly this is true...especially with the explosion in their popularity in recent years.baknblack wrote:Why would they.

The funny thing is when the NFA was started the $200 tax stamp was a lot more money relatively and it was really to put NFA items out of financial reach of everyday folks. Nowadays the $200 still sucks but it's almost more of just an annoyance. It's actually kind of shocking that they never increased that tax with inflation.
Me either, I found this extremely funny for some unknown reason.WLJ wrote:Anyone remember the last time the govt removed a preexisting tax? I don't.
It's about control, not money. I would be very surprised if taxes collected come close to covering the operational costs for the NFA branch of the ATF. Just think of all the overpaid paper pushers and bureaucrats being paid to take part in the infringement of our rights, as well as lights, water, maintenance, electronics, office supplies and legal staff. SOT fees may help out the bottom line, but the tax and forms are simply a nuisance intended to discourage civilian ownership, specifically lower to middle class individuals.ssracer wrote:Sadly this is true...especially with the explosion in their popularity in recent years.baknblack wrote:Why would they.

I won't pay $1 for something I am "truly" free to own but I digress.Pitbullcrazyinky wrote:Just curious. ..would you guys pay 3 or 400 if there was a "express wait"? Lets say 1 or 2 weeks....

never have been able to bring myself to understand that one. Pay sales tax when you buy a car...then pay more tax every year because...unicorn farts?jackalo626 wrote:We pay taxes annually on items we already own. The logic is buried deep below the ocean floor in an impenetrable vault with 12 locks and no keys.
