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.

Re: Suppressor provision in Big Beautiful Bill
The final version does not remove suppressors (or anything else) from the NFA. The Senate 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.

Re: Suppressor provision in Big Beautiful Bill
I for one am very happy not to have to pay the $200 tax. GOA and others have filed a lawsuit to remove the no tax items from the NFA (as the courts have defined the NFA as a tax, and now there is no tax).
The courts can take a while, but we have another shot at removing SBRs, SBSs, AOWs and Silencers from the NFA.

Looks like we have to wait until January 2026 for $0 tax stamps.
Will be a nice New Years gift

Re: Suppressor provision in Big Beautiful Bill
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering how soon it would take affect and assumed it would be after the new year. I thought I read the Silencer Central is waiving (paying) the Tax Stamp Fee on some models of suppressors.Paladin wrote: Sun Jul 06, 2025 8:57 pm https://www.nationalguntrusts.com/blogs ... hatgpt.com
