Given the opportunity, the Communist Party-D & -R factions will probably raise the "tax" so high no one can afford to buy any NFA items.

That suppressors and SBR's weren't completely removed from the NFA is completely the fault of spineless Republicans who allowed a Democrat appointed parliamentarian to alter the bill.

I read all about the parliamentarian (this particular one and the position in general)
This one is "liked" by both sides; not much surprise there. She rulled on the Byrd Rule that this part could not be included

The President of the Senate, JD Vance, can override the parliamentarian

Needless to say I'm pissed at the whole senate!!

That was absolutely the original intent. Like others, I'm surprised no one ever crafted a statute that "adjusts for inflation." But it was meant to be prohibitive plain & simple.
