Suppressor provision in Big Beautiful Bill

[Greybeard]

Somewhat of a surprise to me. Altho I have not followed a lot of second amendment stuff lately.

Gun silencer fees eliminated
The bill eliminates a $200 fee that gun owners are charged when purchasing silencers and short-barrel rifles, as well as registration and ownership requirements.

It removes those from the scope of the 1934 National Firearms Act, a Prohibition-era law intended to crack down on gangland crime. That law remains in effect for machine guns and explosive devices.

The final version does not remove suppressors (or anything else) from the NFA. The Senat bill included that, but it was stripped out by the parliamentarian. The tax stamp fee is gone (it's now zero dollars) but the NFA registration requirements remain.
