"there is no valid argument [...] for [...] taxing suppressors"

This sounded like you were arguing that they should be tax-exempt.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The problem with your comment, yet again, is "tax-exempt" is a meaningless term in this context. What does that mean, exactly? Exempt from what tax?

I am merely trying to decipher your words. So why don't you just tell us what you mean?

Prior to this bill, the sale of a supressor would incur an additional $200 federal tax on top of whatever state sales tax was owed.
