Congress Cuts Taxes on Silencers and Short-Barreled Firearms
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which repeals the $200 tax on silencers, short-barreled rifles, shotguns, and any other weapon regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA). This legislation, part of a broader budget bill that includes tax cuts for the wealthy and funding cuts for programs like Medicare and SNAP, will facilitate access to previously regulated firearms, imperiling public safety. Critics argue this move is another giveaway to the gun industry, especially amid declining gun sales. Following the repeal, various gun organizations announced plans to challenge the constitutionality of the NFA in court, citing the removal of the tax as a potential loophole to invalidate the entire act.
