I spend most of my gun forum time on AR15.com. There is a Minnesota subforum under the Hometown section that probably gets close to as much activity as here.

Getting to be not worth the effort to check in. Keep getting signed out. I give it about 5 seconds to respond in the morning, then move on. I think I made it on about three times in the last two weeks.

I'm surprised they're not banning cars.

It appears that at least two, including the chief justice, can't read The third either wasn't interested, protesting, or something?

Took them long enough. I'm sure they worked really hard to come up with some convoluted legal argument to make serial numbers required. I am frankly surprised that they didn't.

I did not remember that. I do remember standing in Bill's Gun Shop buying a Colt HBAR when one of the houses passed it, I think it was the Senate.

It doesn't necessarily have to go to a conference committee, it depends whether the other house body can pass the amended bill.

If the Senate were to add the SHORT Act to the budget reconciliation bill, would the bill then go back to the House for passage as amended? Yep.

Here's an interesting video from T-Rex arms. He was in DC meeting with his Tennessee senator while the games were being played in the Ways and Means committee.

Republicans, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Spineless bastards.

The guy that reformed the NFA process, can't remember his name, was a gun grabber that recently got fired. A little justice.

I think the improvement in turnaround time came because the AFT thought they were going to be registering millions of pistols with braces as SBRs. FTATF.

Can someone give me the CliffsNotes version, why it's in anyone's interest to keep suppressors NFA? This is the only reason I can think of. There are several companies whose business model is to make it easy to go through the NFA process. They handle the fingerprints, photos, and paperwork. Silence...
