I have a 42" Craftsman mower, a YTS 3000. I'd like to get a bagger for it at an affordable price. I think it generally requires the 2 bag system that is a bit newer than the older 3 bag system, but I really don't know much about this at all so let me know what you've got. As close to Cleveland or Chattanooga as possible, depending on the condition and price.

Lol. I have to agree, I feel exactly like the @MEGASTAR regarding the NRA.

Bump.

I think it is basically this. It has been $200.00 to manufacture or transfer any of those N.F.A. items, including machine guns. The NFA 1934 determined this. In 1986, everyones favorite pro-gunners Ronald Reagan and the NRA passed FOPA. It made some things "better" but also restricted the manufacture of machine guns by civilians. Pre-86 things already on the registry already can be transferred. Of course, you probably already know all of that. But it's like this. Piece of paper A tells you it is $200.00 to pass go, and piece of paper B tells you that passing go is illegal.

It's almost like...a bill so big that you have to pass it to see what is in it isn't a good idea.

What are you basing this on?

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text SEC. 70436. REDUCTION OF TRANSFER AND MANUFACTURING TAXES FOR CERTAIN DEVICES. (a) Transfer Tax.--Section 5811(a) is amended to read as follows: ``(a) Rate.--There shall be levied, collected, and paid on firearms transferred a tax at the rate of-- ``(1) $200 for each firearm transferred in the case of a machinegun or a destructive device, and ``(2) $0 for any firearm transferred which is not described in paragraph (1).''. (b) Making Tax.--Section 5821(a) is amended to read as follows: ``(a) Rate.--There shall be levied, collected, and paid upon the making of a firearm a tax at the rate of-- ``(1) $200 for each firearm made in the case of a machinegun or a destructive device, and ``(2) $0 for any firearm made which is not described in paragraph (1).''. (c) Conforming Amendment.--Section 4182(a) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``For purposes of the preceding sentence, any firearm described in section 5811(a)(2) shall be deemed to be a firearm on which the tax provided by section 5811 has been paid.'' (d) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall apply to calendar quarters beginning more than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. I think this was in the version that the Senate sent to the House for vote. If the bill changed at all, it would have to go back to the Senate for another vote.

That's one of my fears. Once in effect, it may be hard to find any suppressors and then it really sets the precedent for the pendulum to swing heavily in the direction of adjusting for inflation. According to a CPI calculator, $200.00 in 1934 is $4,870.68 today. So...fun if it goes that direction. There is the argument that if the tax is $0.00 then the reason for having the registry is null. I...don't know. Would be neat to see these items stripped from the registry via that method.

Bump. Guess everyone already has what they want.

One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish, Black fish, Blue fish, Old fish, New fish.

Oh yeah. I admit that I totally forgot that those are both crimes.

I'm curious. What crime should Biden's Wife be charged with here?

Don't worry. Trump wants to focus mainly on the "big cities". Trump wants to pause raids on farms and "hospitality" as they are important.

I personally don't think it was so much the accident but abstaining from coke/alcohol fueled writing binges. You know, like the books that he doesn't remember writing?
