I think the hope is that GOA and others that filed the lawsuit will win. and then politicians will claim victory like they did it that way on purpose. the real truth is they alls suck and if they aren't getting money or power out of something, they don't care.

---

Even if they do win in court because the tax cannot be zero invalidating registration requirements, that does not repeal the NFA. Will those court victories withstand a Democrat congress resurrecting the tax (likely increasing it to a level that is unaffordable)? I don't know, guess it depends on the lawsuit and ruling, but I think there's a good chance it will only last while the tax is set at zero.

The NFA needs to be thrown out by SCOTUS for being the unconstitutional pile of garbage that it is. The tax was never legal and especially the refusal to collect the tax for me machine guns.

---

If they tried to reinstate it I would assume any suppressors or guns sold before then would be exempt as there would exist a window where they would have to be grandfathered in.

Yes, long thread on this board. Some folks are getting approval the same day.

So Jan 1, 2026

So Jan 1 will be a mad dash for new suppressors? It's like all the suppressors just got a 20-40% discount now

the price goes down, but the wait times go back up

Valid. I don't have a need for anymore suppressors at this moment so anything I get will be just cause and don't mind waiting.

Probably a new dedicated 9 can, maybe a 5.56 one and something else.

Many dealers are now offering to hold cans after purchase and wait on form 4 certification until Jan. 1 (likely to keep business going until then). The tsunami of e-form 4's come Jan. 1 is already building.

That's not a bad idea
