Eliminate the tax = eliminate the registry.
Murdock v. Pennsylvania should be able to kill the remaining taxes.

The biggest issue I can see with the “Zero Tax” on these NFA items is that congress didn’t eliminate the tax, they set it to zero. The courts will likely say something along the lines of “there is still a tax, even if it’s ’zero dollars’ so the NFA restrictions WRT ownership and registration are still valid IAW the tax-powers”……
I wish it was different, but this is how I see this turning out.
ETA: My biggest concern is now that the seal has been broken on the almost century’s old $200 stamp, and the spotlight brought on this nominal amount in current dollars, when (not if) the left regains control of the leavers of power, they can / will set the tax to ~$5,000 (the approximate inflation corrected number from 1934 to 2025) or more……
ALL gun laws are infringements, including taxing the right to keep (own) and bear (carry) arms (guns, knives, swords). ATF should be a convenience store on every major intersection, not a government agency!
