• CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE S4543 - Senator Murphy submits a proposed amendment to bill H.R. 3944 to effectively raise the tax for making or trasnferring an NFA firearm to be $4,709, instead of the $200 current tax stamp cost.  According to Senate Vote History on H.R. 3944, on August 1st, 2-25, the overall bill H.R. 3944 passed with a vote of 87-9.  But the S.Amdt.2973 of concern were submitted but not sent to the floor to vote or debate on.  They were tabled.  That means that S.Amdt.2973 apparently will not be voted on or submitted in their current form.  More information can be found here.
