One Search Signal at a Time
After the stamp, the number that matters is demand.
Tax on cans, SBRs, and SBSs is $0. A Texas court knocked the federal registry for those arms. Machine guns, AOWs, and DDs still wear a stamp. State law still applies. This is what people are searching for anyway.
- 1 Jan 2026
- The $200 federal making/transfer tax on suppressors, SBRs, and SBSs went to $0 (One Big Beautiful Bill, 2025).
- 5 Aug 2026
- N.D. Texas held remaining NFA registration and approval for those arms lack taxing-power footing once the tax is $0 (Jensen v. ATF / related NRA–SAF actions).
- Still true
- Machine guns, AOWs, and DDs remain NFA. State law and the selling dealer still apply. Appeals are likely. This board is demand, not a ruling.
