This link brings you to the bill itself (the text is not currently online however). Cicking this link (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/3668) apparently affects the "most viewed" link above, which is updated every Monday.

After RINO Ryan refused to let the CCW bill be voted on I wont hold my breath on this bill ever reaching the floor for vote.

Maybe someone who can read this language better can pitch in, but to me does this mean that silencers will have a 10% tax added?

I do believe so. But they will be taken off the NFA. Instead off paying for a $200 stamp. You will be paying basically a sales tax for them. Did you think the Feds would have let that little income from the stamps go away? They have to figure out where to get money to refund all the stamps since 10/22/15. :rolleyes:

Im not holding my breath either but this bill may have a shot.

Yeah, I figure it'll have a slim chance once the refunds are cut out. I sent email. I swear these asshats can't decide to shit until it's a disaster.

I'm from Oregon. No chance my Rep supports it. She's a moron.

She damn well won't if you do nothing. An email is considered representative of 1,000 voices. A phone call is worth 10,000 yes votes. Your Rep. serves at the pleasure of her constituents. Make her do her job. The lefty's are so entrenched in losing, they won't know the difference. It's just something else to bitch and bellyache about.
