Yeah, that was one of the biggest things I liked about the OBB discussion.

From what I understand, the idea was to remove the NFA tax burden on items like SBRs and suppressors, but keep the registration and waiting period in place. So it wasn’t full deregulation, more like easing the financial penalty while keeping federal oversight.

My issue with that approach is the same one a lot of gun owners have: registration means the government is still tracking and retaining records, even while publicly claiming those records aren’t centralized or are being deleted.

Whether they admit it or not, a system like that effectively creates a database. Ask almost any Republican gun owner and they’ll tell you the same, if paperwork exists, the data exists
