Earlier today the U.S. Senate passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill contained a provision that would, among other things, eliminate the burdensome $200 excise tax imposed by federal law on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and “any other weapons” as defined by the National Firearms Act (NFA).

This bill has worked its way across Capitol Hill for months and is closer to becoming law than ever before. But it is now headed back to the U.S. House for final passage. If the “One Big Beautiful Bill” is passed by the U.S. House, it will then go to President Trump’s desk for his signature and it will become law.

Far from perfect, this bill represents an opportunity for NRA members and gun owners nationwide to pull back the draconian tax scheme that is the NFA, and we are closer to that goal than ever before.

Your U.S. Representative needs to hear from you! The U.S. House is preparing to move very quickly to pass this bill before the 4th of July, so there’s no time to waste. Please call your U.S. Representative today and urge them to vote YES on the “One Big Beautiful Bill!” If you don’t know the number for your U.S. Representative, you can reach them at (202) 224-3121.
