What will you buy before 11% comes?

[FriedChickies]

Picked up a Glock 35, Sig M18, and Beretta 92FS M9A1 this week. Thinking about the Sig MCX Regulator...it's ugly in a cool kinda of way

I ordered a Platypus last month, but I doubt it will make it here for delivery before the 11% increase. My fault I was late to the game. They’ll get me for another $250

I'm not sure where to post this, but my scenario is that I won't be able to DROS again until June 24 meaning I won't be able to pick up until July 3. Does this mean I get my squeezed another 11%

Good question, you pay your fee's before July 1st so I'd assume that you won't get hit with the tax. You're only picking up.

From everything FFLs have told me is that your firearm must be picked up before July 1st to avoid the 11% tax. I thought I’d avoid it as well by paying for everything last month, but apparently the law was written as any firearm transaction taking place after July 1, 2024 will be charged the 11%. DROS is part of the transaction, therefore you’re charged. BS I know, but I tried fighting the battle with 2 different FFLs

It's insane to think about how much time effort and money CA has put into the implementation of this just for it to get overturned in the courts. I don't expect it to last long but I usually buy multiple guns at a time anyways, so I'm just planning on buying my next batch mid June and then my next one in September. Still want to get a ts12, maybe a P-01, definitely a hellcat, the new M&p9 compact looks nice, but I want to feel it in hand. I'll just have to see what strikes my fancy next month.

I’m not really in the market for anything but my wife has expressed an interest in upland hunting and clay shooting with me. I don’t want to spend a large amount on a shotgun if she doesn’t take to it so my thoughts are on a CZ Drake Southpaw since she’s a lefty. My local sporting clays course rents the CZ Drake out and they seem to hold up to a lot of use and abuse.

I confirmed this with several FFLs. The 11% gets assessed upon delivery, in other words when you complete the final DROS paperwork after 10 days, as 9mmContagion stated. So sadly the answer to your question is yes. I have several guns on order that I'm hoping will arrive by mid-June but I don't know if they will.

Now if you were to get a FFL03+COE before then, you would avoid the 1 in 30 and can buy as many guns as you can get your hands on prior to June 20, as well as have ammo delivered to your door. I'm working on one as I write this.

They cannot tax a constitutional right, they KNOW this and thats why they never did it. Now with some losses and supreme court decisions coming they are throwing anything they can without caring whether its constitutional or not. It is just plain EVIL. Could take years to over turn though!

Would love to pick up a Henry Big Boy with a side loading gate. Definitely the 357, not sure which style yet. Been wanting a cowboy gun and seems like it'd be good to spend that $1000+ before the new tax.

I like your taste

Ammo, Ammo, Ammo!

I am wondering if the 11% gets passed onto those with an FFL-03 + COE.

 

[FriedChickies]

Probably not, since FFL03 folks are not considered by the ATF to be dealers. Says right on the FFL application form

From Reddit:

Chapter 2. Imposition and Rate of Tax

36011. Commencing July 1, 2024, an excise tax is hereby imposed upon licensed firearms dealers, firearms manufacturers, and ammunition vendors, at the rate of 11 percent of the gross receipts from the retail sale in this state of any firearm, firearm precursor part, or ammunition.

FFL03+COE doesn't meet the definition of "licensed firearms dealers," "firearms manufacturers," or "ammunition vendors." FFL03s aren't covered by the exemption because the law doesn't even apply to them. Am I interpreting that correctly?

 

[WojtekWeaponry]

a Glock 20, a Ruger Mark IV, and a CZ P01. I can get more (I have a FFL03) but this hobby is crazy expensive. lol!!

How froggy do you want to get with the Mark IV?

 

[JayEyeTee831]

so far this year i purchased:

- 1911 Trp. Tax money helped out tremendously
- G26.3. Got in in OD green, gonna replace the sights to trijicon HdXr very soon.
- Currently waiting on Turners call to Dros a ksg (on sale rn)

I thought it was June 1st. that this sin tax was going to apply to guns and ammo.

 

[Magnetic_FoST23]

Ammo and more ammo. Currently have a Tippmann Arms M4-22 Elite in jail. Will then send the Anderson AM-15 to jail soon after.

 

[wstsider]

I’m really just looking for gen 5 glocks

 

[wstsider]

I just want a Glock 17 gen 5 and a glock 19 gen 5 and I’ll be good

 

[W.H.O.]

IMO best idea currently is to go for the priciest dealer purchased one you're looking at first since the tax applies to sales and dealer fees if I remember correctly. PPT doesn't require any disclosure of information pertaining to the nature of the transfer (unless they changed that too) so it can be asserted that it's a gift. No sale=no tax. Exceptions would be something such as new to roster handguns that won't make it on to shelves before july that could potentially cost more than a ppt (vp9l-or is looking like it's not gonna make it before the tax hits)

More Importantly....buy as much ammo as you can. Consumables is where its going to be painful long term.
