So, Senate Parliamentarian, RINOS, House version, Senate version, Public lands sale…

I guess I can wait until it gets signed, then everybody will be talking about it. I just want to know; are the NFA busters still in? SBR’s, suppressors…?

I just don’t want to pay the exorbitant prices PLUS another $200 AND another record the ATF has with my name on it… to buy or build a suppressor. I just want to save what’s left of my hearing. I just want my granddaughter to shoot without damaging her ears in the first place.

Does anybody know if cancelling the tax on suppressors and SBR’s is in the bill that passed? Will there still be a form to the ATF?

Renewed my membership

As some of you know, I've lost interest in firearms. The situation over on Canfield Mountain Sunday changed that and I renewed my membership at the rifle club. Over here there are few public shooting areas and what remain are off limits during fire season so it's the club or nothing.
I still carry but I consider a handgun to be almost useless, at least in my hands, I really suck with them. My Mossberg is always loaded with #4 buck but I'm much more comfortable with a carbine. When was the last time I checked my zero on one, 2 years?  Yesterday I dusted off a suitable upper, actually dusted it off as it was on there thick. Today I'll do a real clean and lube as well as put together a range bag. Then I'll dig out my notes and load a couple hundred 52gr Berger hps. I've got quite a few 60gr gold dots but they're a bit robust for use in town.
Anyway, a carbine I'm not confident with is just more clutter and it's time to de-clutter a bit.
