House Passes H.R. 1 to Remove Suppressors from the NFA
GOA Urges Senate to Finish the Job for Short Barreled Firearms
Last night, the House Rules Committee amended H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, to include Sec. 2 of the Constitutional Hearing Protection Act—fully removing suppressors from the National Firearms Act of 1934.
GOA fully supports Sec. 112029 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Elimination of the NFA’s unconstitutional excise tax & registration of suppressors is a massive victory for the 2nd Amendment. Suppressors will now be treated, de facto, as firearms subject to a NICS background check at point of sale.
But now, GOA is calling on the Senate to also protect short-barreled firearms and reduce the entire NFA tax to $0!
Passing the tax repeal language in the SHORT Act would prevent the weaponization of the National Firearms Act against gun owners. When the Biden administration attempted to ban 40 million pistols equipped with stabilizing braces, they used the 1934 NFA’s barrel length restrictions as justification for charging millions of Americans with felonies despite the fact that these accessories were approved by the ATF for over a decade.
