America’s Second Amendment advocates have another reason to celebrate. Under President Trump’s leadership, suppressor sales have skyrocketed, marking a clear victory for those who cherish gun rights and personal liberty. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, suppressor registrations have surged an astonishing 265%, signaling that more Americans than ever are exercising their constitutional freedoms.
This explosive growth has been fueled not only by increased awareness about hearing protection but also by genuine excitement surrounding the President’s recently signed “big, beautiful bill,” which scraps the burdensome $200 federal tax stamp on suppressors and short-barreled rifles. This tax, a relic of a bygone era, had long served as an unnecessary obstacle to lawful firearm ownership, disproportionately burdening law-abiding gun owners.
Mark Oliva of the National Shooting Sports Foundation underscores the significance of this moment, stating clearly: “The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill will remove a significant barrier to lawful suppressor and firearm ownership, when it is ultimately implemented, that we believe has kept many on the sidelines, especially when it comes to suppressor purchases.”
The removal of this tax stamp is not merely symbolic. It’s a real, tangible win for American gun owners, particularly those who value safety and responsible firearm usage. Suppressors, often demonized by the anti-gun left, serve a legitimate and practical purpose—protecting the hearing of shooters at the range and hunters in the field, a practice long adopted in many European nations.
There are over 413,000 suppressors registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, a figure growing rapidly as more citizens recognize their benefits. Yet despite the liberal hysteria labeling suppressors as dangerous and unnecessary, the facts remain clear: these devices do not “silence” firearms, contrary to Hollywood-fed misconceptions peddled by anti-gun activists. Instead, they merely reduce gunshot reports to safer levels, minimizing potential hearing damage.
Of course, while the elimination of the tax is a significant step forward, the battle is far from over. Gun rights advocates remain rightfully frustrated that suppressors and short-barreled rifles are still subject to the National Firearms Act—a cumbersome, outdated, Al Capone-era relic requiring federal registration and lengthy approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Background checks and bureaucratic delays continue to hamper the rights of responsible gun owners.
Despite the President’s commendable efforts, Congress failed to deliver on fully removing these items from the NFA’s restrictions. This omission has ignited the industry’s determination, prompting lawsuits and renewed legislative pushes from gun-rights groups and conservative lawmakers committed to completing the job President Trump has started.
“The work isn’t done,” Oliva declared resolutely. “NSSF is committed to passing the Hearing Protection Act and the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today (SHORT) Act to remove unnecessary and outdated barriers to suppressor and firearm ownership.”
For conservatives and gun owners alike, this fight is about more than firearms—it’s about liberty, responsibility, and common sense. It’s about rejecting the anti-gun left’s fear-mongering and embracing proven safety solutions. Removing bureaucratic hurdles and taxes on suppressors is a victory for personal responsibility, public safety, and American freedom.
President Trump campaigned on a promise to protect the Second Amendment and remove needless restrictions penalizing law-abiding citizens. Today, he continues to deliver. Every surge in suppressor sales is another testament to his unwavering commitment to our constitutional rights—and a repudiation of the Biden-era gun-grabbing policies that sought to punish responsible firearm owners.
The momentum is clearly on our side. But conservatives must continue to press forward aggressively, demanding that Congress fully dismantle outdated firearm regulations and reaffirming our commitment to the fundamental liberties that make America exceptional. The fight for firearm freedom is far from over—but thanks to President Trump’s bold leadership, we are winning.
