Early this morning, The House Committee on Ways & Means, led by Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO-08) finished a markup of their section of the Reconciliation Bill. Included in this legislation was a provision which would lower the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax levied on suppressors from $200 to $0. This is the first federal firearms tax reduction since the 1960’s. However, under this provision, suppressors would continue to be subject to the other aspects of the NFA.
-----
Submitter's question: what was the federal firearms tax reduction in the 1960s?

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
