Buried deep in President Donald Trump's officially named "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which passed the House by a single vote on Thursday and now moves on to the Senate, is a significant win for the Second Amendment and law-abiding gun owners.
Looks like House Democrats and their left-wing media sock puppets were so busy lying about the massive budget bill "taking from the poor and giving to the rich," and other preposterous falsehoods, they missed the provision.
If the bill survives in the Senate and the provision isn't removed through reconciliation between the versions passed by each chamber, firearm suppressors, commonly referred to as "silencers," would be deregulated, and the $200 federal excise tax would be scrapped.
Removing suppressors from the requirements under the National Firearms Act would be a significant win for gun rights and hearing protection advocates.
Big bills (of any kind) are a nightmare for this country. It's how they hide things, and how they use unrelated issues to coerce legislators to vote for bills they'd normally reject.
It's too bad the has stalled. Just like every previous attempt at reining in this behavior.

It's too bad the [One Subject at a Time Act](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/59/text/is) has stalled. Just like every previous attempt at reining in this behavior.
