> We're kind of in a special time right now. While the Hearing Protection Act and SHORT Act didn't land quite like we wanted, with the new fiscal year, we can buy short-barreled rifles and suppressors without the $200 tax stamp. > The problem, though, is that we still need NFA paperwork, and those products will still be entered into the NFA database. > That's a database whose stated existence isn't about registering scary devices to keep them out of naughty hands. It's about making sure whoever has them has paid the tax. > And the fact that there's not a tax on these items anymore means there shouldn't be a registration requirement. > While Congress insisted on leaving that in, unfortunately, Gun Owners of America and its partners have filed a lawsuit to try and fix the issue. Now, they've just filed a motion for summary judgment in the case.
