US EditionRepublicans push for gun tax cut in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
- On June 19, 2025, the Senate Finance Committee approved a version of President Trump’s bill that seeks to eliminate federal taxes and the mandatory registration requirements for suppressors and short-barreled firearms.
- This legislation follows ongoing efforts by gun-rights groups to ease firearm regulations amid opposition from gun-control advocates, with Democrats vowing to challenge the repeal under Senate procedural rules.
- The bill eliminates the $200 tax and registration mandates for silencers, short-barreled firearms, and other items currently classified under the National Firearms Act of 1934, leaving only automatic weapons and destructive devices subject to these regulations.
- Gun Owners of America described the bill as a major achievement for gun rights, while the gun-control organization Brady criticized the House version as a favorable outcome for gun manufacturers and highlighted that many victims did not realize mass shootings took place when silencers were involved.
- If passed fully, the legislation would mark a significant reduction in firearm regulation, though background checks and other laws would still apply, and the Senate could amend the bill during negotiations.
