“As we and others have pointed out, eliminating the tax stamp undercuts any remaining argument that the NFA is a tax…because there is no longer a tax involved.”

The tax has been officially set at $0.00. To become totally tax free, the lawyers/legislators could have written language that removed the word “tax”, or an amount. That the legislators/lawyers chose not to do that tells the tale.

In reply to Richard. Actually, zeroing the penalty "tax" on not having health insurance was exactly how Republicans in Congress got the Supreme Court to agree that the Obama care insurance mandate was unconstitutional. That was their workaround in 2018 after Senator McCain joined the Democrats to shoot down the repeal of Obamacare.

In reply to Brett Bellmore. And as we saw with Obamacare, Roberts has some odd ideas about taxes. He is fully capable of saying a tax of 0 is still a tax.

The legal logic is undeniable. The majority on the Court won’t care. They’re not terribly interested in striking down federal laws on a good day, and it’s never a good day when the 2nd amendment is in front of them.

Rahimi taught us that.

The totalitarian left is relentless. Grab guns, money, power everywhere and every opportunity.
