I don’t mean this to be political, but it’s a serious question. I had never bought an NFA item before as I thought a $200 permission slip was ridiculous. Since it’s been marked down to a $0 tax stamp, I have now purchased and have in my possession two suppressors, one I use with long guns/static barrels and one I use with pistols...makes things much easier on my old ears at my indoor range.
As easy as the process was on those, I am considering an SBR (or, if they actually do away with engraving, turning my Kuna into one), or, whom I kidding, both. My concern is whether or not the next Administration, if a (D) clean sweep, might try to recoup $200 for each $0 tax stamp issued during the current Administration. I’d like to think not, and I know the DOJ just released a decent list of pro 2A policy changes, but I’d really like to see them put it all into legislation so it can’t be changed back on a whim.
At this point a $400 recoup wouldn’t kill me, but over the next three years, I can see a few more $0 stamps added, so it would likely be a bit bigger hit than $400.
I know no one can actually be definitive on an answer, just curious what others think. I think it’s absurd to even have to consider it, but history has shown that one party’s policies have always directly attacked lawful gun owners, whether through absurd gun regulations, excessive fees on whatever 2A items they can manage (guns, ammo, availability of ranges, etc.), or flip flopping on basic items like braces so as to put law abiding gun owners in peril of unintentionally and unknowingly becoming felons.
