Full Episode
Mr. Scott, I asked- I gave you an answer you don't like. It's over with.
This provision very clearly states- You see, MAGA Republicans don't know how to debate. So when Democratic Congress member Neguse was asking very basic questions, like who the heck put in a provision into this bill that all of a sudden states that you no longer have to register silencers with the ATF as part of the budget bill, who put it in there?
You saw the MAGA Republicans like, stop yelling at me, stop yelling at me. Look, the Democrats were fighting all day. And this is what I wanted to see, Democrats going gloves off. So I want to show you this interaction between Democratic Congress member Neguse, where he speaks to the MAGA Republican Congress member and says,
who the hell added a provision into a budget bill that not only provides tax exemptions for silencers, but adds a provision that clearly states that people no longer have to even register their silencers anymore. Something that has been around since the days of Al Capone, that you have to register your silencers. Here, play this clip. The question I have is,
This was not in the bill that we were marking up. So whose vote was bought with this provision that silencers will no longer need to be registered with the ATF or subject to background checks, purchasers, that is to say? What member was on the fence about this bill and then went to Republican leadership and said, I know you're eliminating the tax on silencers,
But if you can just eliminate all regulation of silencers, I will vote for this bill. It did not eliminate all regulations of silencers. Sure. It's still subject. No, it doesn't. No, no, no, no. You don't know anything about this one, brother. I haven't yielded to you yet, Mr. Scott. I have 10 of them.
I haven't yielded to you yet, Mr. Scott. Mr. Neguse has the time. Thank you, Madam Chair. This provision... very clearly states that you no longer have to register silencers with the ATF. Is that wrong? Is that incorrect? That does not mean that you will not go through a background check. It will be sold the same way a rifle is.
That's not the question I asked, Mr. Scott. I asked whether this provision... Don't yell at me. I gave you an answer you don't like. It's over with. This provision very clearly states... Let Mr. Neguse ask a question and answer it, please, Mr. Scott.
The National Firearm Act for 100 years, since the days of Al Capone, which is the impetus behind the National Firearm Act in the first instance, has required registration for those purchasing silencers. That was the case up until 45 minutes ago. When Republicans negotiated the elimination of that registration requirement. Fairly straightforward.
