Most of the comments at the ammoland site correctly put this down as political posturing that everyone - especially the authors and co sponsors - knows doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of going anywhere today. (Remember the Hearing Protection Act that was supposed to remove suppressors from NFA requirements?)

Eliminate the tax, but still require registration?

A step in the right direction, I guess. Probably makes it more likely to pass since it includes extra background checks, fingerprints, and registration.

They always introduce *expletive deleted*it when it doesn’t have a chance of passing but sit on their hands when they control everything

U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and a dozen of his Senate Republican colleagues have introduced legislation to eliminate the $200 tax imposed by the government since 1934 on firearms and suppressors (silencers) regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA).

The legislation is known as the Repealing Illegal Freedom and Liberty Excises (RIFLE) Act.

Joining Cotton as co-sponsors are fellow Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott (Florida), Roger Marshall (Kansas), Steve Daines (Montana), Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts (Nebraska), Kevin Cramer (North Dakota), Markwayne Mullin (Oklahoma), Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee), John Cornyn (Texas), and John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis (Wyoming). Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Iowa has introduced companion legislation in the House, Cotton’s office noted in a release.

My take: good idea, which means it has a snowball's chance in hell of passing. But I would like to at least see it come up for a vote just to see who votes against.

I'm pretty lucky to have a good appliance guy in town.

Super nice and helpful. Will never upsell anything. Does the service calls.

Keith costs a few extra dollars, not many, and is worth it.

They think everyone is economically illiterate. Unfortunately for us, as bad a schools and even higher education is these days, they are right.

The first three numbers in a Kenmore model number give you the manufacture. Like 110.whatever is Whirlpool laundry. Kenmore has never made anything.

The steam might help because I never saw a gas oven that would get hot enough to self-clean properly.

For the hose, check for a small hardware store or an appliance parts store. Most will sell to retail. I got my butt kicked this week rebuilding a flooded furnace and didn't see this or I could have had one drop shipped to you.

You get what you voted for

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has a bold idea to reduce crime in Chicago: refusing to prosecute offenses that are discovered during routine traffic stops.
