Democrat Senator Pushes for $4,700 Tax Stamps
A leading anti-gun firebrand on Capitol Hill this week introduced a measure that would skyrocket the federal tax on NFA items, like suppressors and short-barreled firearms.
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat who has signed on to just about every wandering gun ban and restriction that has come through Congress in the past two decades, on Tuesday suggested new tax rates on NFA items.
His proposed amendment to a Republican military spending bill would set the typical $200 making and transfer tax on most items to $4,709 and move the $5 tax on AOWs to $55.
“If we want to save lives in this country, we have to find a way, come hell or high water, to stop mass legalization of silencers in this country,” said Murphy in a press conference last month on the eve of potential NFA reform in the Republican reconciliation bill, H.R.1, better known as President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
While H.R.1 did not include “mass legalization” of suppressors (they have never been illegal, just taxed since 1934), it did drop the tax rate to $0, effective in January 2026.
National gun control groups quickly welcomed Murphy’s move, with Brady saying, “Thank you, Chris Murphy, for introducing this critical amendment to strike the provision in the big UGLY bill that removed taxes on deadly silencers & other uniquely lethal weapons, and instead adjust taxes to reflect inflation today.”
The likelihood of Murphy’s proposal sticking to the spending bill and making it into law is slim in the Republican-controlled Senate. Still, it signals one of the priorities that Dems will pursue when the polarity of Congress switches.
For over 90 years, the NFA has required that anyone interested in buying or building one of these weapons first submit an application to the ATF along with their fingerprints, a passport-style photo, and a $200 tax stamp before undergoing an enhanced background check. As the ATF notes, the $200 tax was âconsidered quite severeâ in 1934 âto carry out Congressâ purpose to discourage or eliminate transactions in these firearms,â though it was never raised or adjusted to account for inflation. In todayâs dollars, the figure would be well over $4,700.
But after January 1, 2026, those taxes will no longer be required for silencers, short-barreled firearms, or AOWs, making them significantly easier to obtain â jeopardizing public safety and resulting in an estimated $1.7 billion loss in tax revenue over the next decade.
The move is the latest attempt by the gun industry to chip away at the NFA. While NFA applicants previously had to be approved by the ATF and the chief law enforcement officers (CLEOs) in their areas, in 2016 â after lobbying from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the gun industryâs trade association â the ATF ruled that applicants only had to provide copies of their forms to CLEOs. The NSSF also lobbied for the ATFâs revamped âeFormsâ application system, which has led to dramatically faster approval times. âŚ

One of the best things about President Donald Trump winning and Kamala Harris losing in November is that the insufferable Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate, also lost.
Walz is not having a good week. He got flamed big time at the Sanctuary State hearing, where his answers were ridiculous.
But then came his remarks at a Center for American Progress (CAP) event, “What’s Next: Conversations on the Path Forward” with CAP CEO and former Biden official Neera Tanden. Those remarks confirmed again how lucky we are that he is not in power. They were truly next-level bad.
They were talking about the “escalatory” nature of the strikes in Israel and Iran.
Walz said, “Iran has to retaliate, in their mind,” and the “Middle East is back on fire in a way that has now expanded.”
“Now, who is the voice in the world that can negotiate some type of agreement in this? Who holds the moral authority? Who holds the ability to do that? Because we are not seen as a neutral actor, and we maybe never were,” Walz said of the United States’ role in de-escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Guess who he thought might be the “neutral actor” with the “moral authority” to negotiate peace? China.
There are so many things wrong with this, it’s just mind-numbing.
He’s saying Communist, oppressive China has more moral authority than we do? How many millions of innocent people has the Chinese government slaughtered over the years? And since when are they a “neutral actor” as far as Iran? Does he not know they support Iran? Or does he not care, given his prior connection to China?
Harris Faulkner noted in the above “Outnumbered” report that China issued a similar statement about being ready to help, and it sounded like Tim received the same memo.
Kayley McEnany called it “one of the most naive articulations of foreign policy” â and she was kind.
Yes, we’re not neutral, nor should we be. Is he nuts? They’ve been our enemy, chanting “Death to America!” for decades since the mullahs took over. So much of what has gone wrong over the years in the region has been because of the failed Obama positions on Iran.
But Walz wasn’t quite done with the radical remarks yet. He was upset that â gasp â we would celebrate the 250th birthday of the Army. Listen as he explains how the preparations for the event offended his delicate sensibilities, that they were “horrific,” “looks wrong, feels wrong.” He’s talking about our military.
Tim Walz compares DC on Saturday to âPyong-yongâ and hopes the military runs into bad weather at the parade.
âThis may get me in trouble or whatever.” pic.twitter.com/8WQGhLCArG
â Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) June 13, 2025
Walz explained that he would go somewhere else where they had a tradition of “separation” (not sure what he was talking about). He said, “This was not Pyong Yang on a Saturday.”
He confessed, “This may get me into trouble…but I have never so hoped for rain in my life.”
Then Neera Tanden laughs like it’s the funniest thing ever.
What the heck? He hopes the military is rained on/out. Again, I say, is he nuts? How petty and twisted is this? And he’s comparing our military with North Korea? How could anyone support this character for anything, even dogcatcher, much less for president? But it’s JD Vance, who they termed “weird.”

SOMEONE SHOULD BE FIRED AFTER CNN ANALYST GOES ON RACIST RANT AGAINST WHITE AFRIKANERS
Things got wild on CNN on Monday night after a former Obama staffer and current CNN analyst decided to go on a racist rant over President Donald Trump admitting 48 South African refugees.
As RedState has reported, South Africa’s ruling party has infamously made singing “Kill the Boer,” which translates to “kill the farmer,” a staple of their political rallies. For context, the song specifically refers to white farmers (Afrikaners) and dates back to the country’s apartheid days. Laws to confiscate their land and extra-judicial killings have taken center stage over the last several years.
For some reason, though, that has greatly offended Democrats, who have finally found refugees they do not want to admit into the country. Funny how that works, right? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. On the other hand, here’s Ashley Allison making it clear that it’s not one.
.@ScottJenningsKY was able to see right through it â and cut straight to the heart of the issue. pic.twitter.com/dt2h15j8F3
â Townhall.com (@townhallcom) May 13, 2025
ALLISON: So if the Afrikaners don’t actually like the land, they can leave that country.Â
JENNINGS: They are. They’re leaving to come here. These refugees are coming here.
ALLISON: No, they can leave and go to where their native land is, which is probably Germany or…
JENNINGS: Are you against them coming here?
PANELIST: Holland…
ALLISON: Holland, yes.Â
JENNINGS: Are you against them coming here?Â
ALLISON: I’m against the hypocrisy of this administration…
JENNINGS: No, no, that’s not the question. The question is are you against them coming here.Â
ALLISON: If there was actually a genocide happening like there is other places in Sudan and the Congo, I would not, I’m not opposed for Congolese and for the Sudanese to come to Africa [America?] just like I’m not opposed to Venzualans and South Americans coming to America if they are fleeing and looking for asylum. What I am against…
JENNINGS: So just these 50 people, you’re against…
ALLISON: What I am against is that they are being given special treatment when there is not a genocide happening in South Africa, and they just don’t like the law of the land!
What an absolutely deranged thing to say on so many levels. Imagine, for a moment, if a Republican CNN panelist told black Americans that they can “leave and go to where their native land is” if they don’t like laws that physically and financially persecute them. Do you imagine that person would still have a job right now? Heck, they kicked Ryan James Girdusky off the air permanently for making a beeper joke about terrorist-supporter Mehdi Hasan, and the conservative commentator chimed in to provide this bit of insight on Allison’s rampant racism.
It should also be mentioned that pretending all South American refugees are legitimate and worthy of entry while singling out these South Africans is completely transparent. Most of the illegal aliens who crossed the border and claimed asylum were economic migrants. At no point did Allison have a problem with that or decry the standards by which they were being admitted. Let some white farmers with hundreds of years of lineage in Africa show up, and suddenly she wants to proclaim only the persecutions she approves of count. There’s no good explanation for that except that she’s exactly what she appears to be, which is a blatant racist.
Understand that as much as Trump brought these Afrikaners over to help them, he also did it because he knew Democrats would react like this and expose themselves. He threw the bait out there, and they gobbled it up because they just can’t help themselves. Meanwhile, CNN is just fine with racism on their airwaves as long as it comes from the “right” people.
As lower and district court judges continue to one-up each other with absurd usurpations of clearly stated executive authority, another contender has entered the ring.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled on Friday night that the President of the United States does not have the power to pull government security clearances from Perkins Coie, a private law firm. Yeah, that would be the same Perkins Coie that worked with Democrats to gin up the Russian collusion hoax.Â
In her order, Howell decided that quoting Shakespeare was appropriate. I guess our judiciary is full of theater kids.
“No American President has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue in this lawsuit targeting a prominent law firm with adverse actions to be executed by all Executive branch agencies but, in purpose and effect, this action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: âThe first thing we do, letâs kill all the lawyers,ââ Howell wrote in the 102-page order on Friday.Â
Howell alleges that the Trump administration violated the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, with her basic argument being that the executive order in question amounted to illegal coercion. In arguably politicized fashion, she went on to express animosity toward the law firms that cut deals with the administration to keep their clearances.
All of this will undoubtedly and justifiably seem ridiculous to onlookers, regardless of what legal arguments may or may not actually exist. Control over security clearances is a vested power in the executive branch, and if the president decides he doesn’t want a law firm that literally targeted him on behalf of Hillary Clinton to have access to classified materials within his administration, one would think he should be able to do so.

Bill to bar giving guns to certain mental health patients stalls until 2026
A bill that would criminalize knowingly giving firearms to someone who recently received inpatient mental health treatment was pushed to 2026 on Wednesday  amid questions about its language.
Rep. Shaundelle Brooks, a Hermitage Democrat, named the bill âAkilahâs Lawâ in honor of her son Akilah Dasilva, who was killed in a mass shooting at a Nashville Waffle House in 2018.
The shooter, Travis Reinking of Morton, Illinois, had a history of schizophrenia and delusions. Prior to the shooting, Illinois State Police had revoked his firearm owner identification card, forcing him to surrender his guns to his father. His father then returned the guns to Reinking, breaking Illinois state law.
Tennessee bars giving firearms to juveniles or intoxicated people, but not those who have been committed for mental health evaluation.
Brooks said her bill intends to bring Tennessee in line with the Illinois law that prohibits someone from giving or selling a firearm to a person who has been a patient in a mental health institution within five years.
Brooksâ bill passed the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee in late March, but questions over the billâs scope and language arose in the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 8.Â
Sen. Paul Rose, a Southwest Tennessee Republican, asked for clarity on what the bill defines as a âmental health institutionâ and what it means to be âadmitted.â Rose questioned whether a person who makes routine visits to a mental health provider for medication would be considered a patient of a mental health institution under the billâs definition.
The billâs Senate sponsor, Memphis Democrat Raumesh Akbari, said she did not believe the bill would apply in that case.
Elliot Pinsly, president and CEO of the Behavioral Health Foundation, said the way the legislation is written could have a âchilling effect on peopleâs willingness to seek mental health treatment in Tennessee.â Pinsly, a licensed clinical social worker, founded the policy-focused nonprofit in 2020.
âThe actual bill makes it a crime punishable by up to one year imprisonment to sell, give or otherwise transfer a firearm to a person who has received just about any kind of mental health care or addiction treatment in the past five years, voluntary or involuntary, outpatient or inpatient,â Pinsly said.
Facing uncertainty on the outcome of a committee vote, Akbari chose to move the bill to the general subcommittee, essentially putting it on ice until it can be resurrected in 2026.
âI look forward to Representative Brooks continuing to move this through the House ⌠I will be working with all members on this committee so that we can reach a solution so we can really protect folks in Tennessee,â Akbari said.
The New York Timesâ Latest Anti-Gun News Story
Print journalism is pretty simple, really. At least it used to be. For decades there were basically two types of stories, news and opinion. Reporters wrote news stories. Columnists and a few others wrote opinion pieces.
But in recent years weâve seen another type of journalism rise in prominence, the anti-gun story, which masquerades as a regular news piece but is chock-full of opinion and false claims. When reporters fill their anti-gun stories with their opinions their editors do nothing, because they often share their stafferâs opinions.
During my 20 years as a newspaperman, I would call out the authors of anti-gun stories whenever I saw them, but my criticisms were usually never addressed, even though we have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Nowadays, journalists talk constantly about the accuracy of their reporting. However, when they write anti-gun stories, the normal journalism standards are gone, and the editing is a complete joke. The size of the newspaper also makes a difference. Smaller newspapers are generally more accurate when writing about guns than the big ones.
Case in point:Â The New York Times.
On Monday, the Times published what is perhaps the most anti-gun news story seen in quite a while. It was written by reporter Glenn Thrush, who started at the newspaper in 2017 and claimed in his bio that his most âfulfilling assignmentâ was writing obituaries, which is odd. Writing about the recently departed is far from fulfilling.
Thrushâs story was titled âTrump Administration to Roll Back Array of Gun Control Measures.â The array was described as a reversal of the strict gun control rules Joe Biden ordered âto stem the flood of unregulated semiautomatic handguns and rifles.â
If you look closely at Thrushâs story, you will find factual errors and anti-gun hyperbole in nearly every paragraph. For example, Thrush wrote that gun dealers stripped of the Federal Firearm Licenses by Bidenâs crazy zero-tolerance policy were âfound to have repeatedly violated federal laws and regulations.â
This is far from the truth.
Bidenâs insane policy stripped hundreds of gun dealers of their FFLâs solely because of extremely minor clerical errors. It is estimated to have increased the FFL revocation rate by 700 percent. Thrush never mentioned that, or that the ATF occasionally sent its poorly trained SWAT team to the gun dealersâ homes, or that the dealers were handcuffed and laying on their stomachs during their conversations with the ATF. In one case, the alleged suspect never got the chance to respond to any of the federal allegations, because ATFâs SWAT team shot and killed him in his own home before they had a chance to talk.
Thrush was not kind to Attorney General Pam Bondi or her plan to use the Justice Departmentâs Civil Rights Division to investigate the Los Angeles Sheriffâs Department to determine whether it is âengaging in a pattern or practice of depriving ordinary, law-abiding Californians of their Second Amendment rights.â
Even though this task is clearly covered by federal law, Thrush claimed that Bondi was ârepurposing an investigative unit that had been used to expose racial discrimination and police violence by local enforcement agencies.â
Bondiâs decision didnât involve any repurposing. The federal laws that govern the Civil Rights Division are very clear, unlike Bidenâs ATF rules.
The author spoke to the executive director of Giffords, who falsely claimed Trump gave his seal of approval to âreckless dealers who are willing to sell guns to traffickers and criminals.â Over the years I have met more than a few gun dealers, but no one willing to sell arms to anyone with a criminal record. That this actually made it into a New York Times story is incredibly damning.
Thrush also claimed that the ATF took âan abrupt U-turnâ from the schemes of Biden and ATFâs former director to âstem the flood of unregulated semiautomatic handguns and rifles that have contributed to mass shootings and exacerbated the violent crime wave that peaked after the coronavirus pandemic.â
A flood of unregulated handguns and rifles?
Remember that the next time you fill out an ATF Form 4473.

Manhattan DA calls on 3D printing companies to deter creation of ghost guns
With crimes involving ghost guns on the rise, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., is calling on a 3D printer manufacturer to put more safeguards in place to prevent the spread of 3D-printed guns and gun parts.
Bragg penned a letter to Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd. (Creality), which produces 3D printers available to individual consumers, to install their printers with an available 3D-printing software program that detects the shapes of common gun parts and blocks their printing. Bragg also called on Creality to take down any online blueprints, also known as CAD files, from its cloud platform, and to ban the creation of illicit weapons in the companyâs user agreement.
Creality printers have been previously seized during searches by law enforcement in New York City, including recent cases; the DAâs office cites the cases against Luigi Mangione and Robert Guerrero, which are still in progress, as well as Cory Davis and Cliffie Thomspon, both of whom plead guilty to manufacturing ghost guns.
Since 2020, the DAâs Office has been cracking down on use and possession of ghost guns and illegal firearms, creating the Ghost Gun Initiative with the NYPD. Between 2021 and 2024, homicides decreased by 20%, and shootings decreased by 45% in Manhattan.
In 2023, Bragg introduced legislation to close loopholes in New Yorkâs gun laws to make manufacturing 3D-printed and ghost guns and gun parts a felony. The legislation would also make it a misdemeanor to share, sell or distribute files containing blueprints for 3D-printed firearms components.
Bragg will be sending similar letters to other leading consumer brands of 3D printers in the coming weeks. Click here to read the full letter.
Tim Walz Figures Out Whatâs Wrong with the Democrats
Imagine hitting yourself over the head with a mallet and giving yourself a terrific headache, and then saying, âWow, Iâve got such a headache! I know what will fix it! Iâll hit myself on the head with this mallet!â Thatâs the state of the Democrat Party these days, and particularly of failed second banana Tim Walz, who recommended in a recent speech not that Democrats reject the woke idiocy that has led them straight into a ditch, but that they embrace even more of it. Why, Tim, youâre an absolute genius! Thatâll fix everything!
Walz, the unmanly manâs idea of a manâs man, was captured on a video that started circulating widely on Thursday repeating the familiar Democrat mantra: â⌠that our strength is our diversity! Weâve been talking about this for years, as a country of immigrants. And we let them define the issue on immigration!â

â End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) March 28, 2025
Thatâs true, Timmy: Democrats have indeed been relentlessly repeating the phrase âDiversity is Our Strengthâ for years on end, with all the fervor of those who recognize the truth in Goebbelsâ adage that a big lie, repeated often enough, starts to be believed.
In reality, a society that worships diversity is on its way to fragmentation and dissolution. On this as with so many issues, the left has deliberately confused the issue. If you say you donât believe that diversity is our strength, youâll be accused of being a racist, a white supremacist, a neo-Nazi who wants to eliminate all minorities. Theodore Roosevelt enunciated  the truth:
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.
But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as anyone else.
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.
The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country.
The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic.
He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.
Theodore Roosevelt
Address to the Knights of Columbus
New York City- October 12th, 1915
The Balkanization (a word that in itself testifies to the dangers of the idolatry of diversity) of the U.S. appears to be just what the far left wants, as it will justify their destruction of constitutional freedoms and use of authoritarian measures to keep order. If Walz wanted the Democrats to recapture the American electorate, he could at least show some glancing awareness of the reasons why so many Americans oppose open borders and mass migration. Instead, he just repeated the same old mantra.
Walz continued: âWe let them define the issue on DNI â DEI. And we let them define what woke is. We got ourselves in this mess because we werenât bold enough to stand up and say, âYouâre damn right weâre proud of these policies. Weâre gonna put âem in, and weâre gonna execute âem.â Gee, I donât know, Tim. Many things can be said about the ill-starred Harris/Walz campaign, but no one can honestly say that it was timid or reticent about its support for DEI and mass migration, despite paying some disingenuous lip service to the idea of controlling the border.
Electing the Harris/Walz ticket, the New York Times opined in Aug. 2024, âItâs a chance to bolster a bedrock liberal belief: that diversity benefits society overall.â The Times added that âRepublicans have slammed Harris as a D.E.I. candidate, tossing around the acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion to insinuate that she didnât earn her place. But overwhelmingly, one of the reasons Democrats are excited about her is that sheâs highly qualified and also happens to be a woman of color. They recognize that she represents all that is good about D.E.I., that it isnât about the granting of privilege but the dismantling of it.â
And now Tim Walz is saying that the Democrats werenât insistent enough about their being in favor of wokeness, DEI, and mass migration?
The American electorate knew that very well, Timbo, and rejected it in massive numbers.
Yet Walz and his fellow Democrat apparatchiks appear determined to pick up the same old mallet and hit themselves over the head with it again. Why not, Tim? Maybe itâll cure your headache this time!
Latest Anti-Gun Talking Points Seem to Have Dropped, And They’re Shockingly Stupid
Every so often, you’ll see a lot of different accounts suddenly start making identical or nearly identical posts, raising the same points that often aren’t even that impressive. This is usually a case of someone sending them to certain political influencers and then repeating them verbatim. No thought went into this on the part of the influencer, of course, but someone out there thought it was a zinger.
Over the weekend, a new one dropped, apparently, and it’s all that you could have hoped for.
And, of course, there are indications that Tristan here wasn’t the only one who got the memo.
It’s possible this whole thing is just some kind of organic growth, to be sure, but it doesn’t really matter where it originated. It’s ridiculous.
The firebombing and shooting up of Tesla dealerships are domestic terrorism, which involves political motivations, so those are inherently going to be treated differently while being investigated.
But let’s think about how we’re “protecting” Teslas.
Teslas have something called “sentry mode” that monitors the vehicle’s surroundings are records if someone approaches. That’s how we have so many videos of Teslas being keyed or otherwise vandalized.
A lot of this vandalism is probably not even investigated because it’s such a petty crime. If an identity comes up, the cops might go and ask a few questions, but this is probably not very high up on their list of priorities, particularly in cities with high crime. Frankly, I get it.
Now, let’s think about what we do with our school children.
I don’t know about Tristan or Jo, but I personally want every teacher so inclined to have a gun to help protect those kids. I want school resource officers in every school as well, just to help protect those school children.
If someone hurts a school child, they’re hunted by every law enforcement agency with relevant jurisdiction–and the others would love to hunt that party but generally can’t unless the suspect crosses into their jurisdiction.
But let’s go back to protecting schools for a moment, though. Note where I stand on that protection. Many of you agree with either part or all of what I laid out.
Do you know who doesn’t?
That’s right, people like Tristan and Jo, that’s who.
When the subject of armed teachers–hell, even the subject of metal detectors at the door–people like those two lose their minds. They fight such things tooth and nail, screaming about how it creates the wrong environment and how everything will be awful. They rage against school resource officers, screaming about the “school to prison pipeline” and oppose those left and right as well.
Pretty much everything that might actually protect school kids gets shut down by the same people.
And then they have the nerve to push this kind of talking point? It’s insulting, infuriating, and absolutely idiotic.
We know what they want. They’re trying to leverage this into justifying gun control. They think this is a dunk on gun rights.
And it’s even dumber than the talking point on its own because of that.
Keep right on talking Chuck…….
