Second Amendment advocacy groups are working overtime to secure major victories included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by House and Senate Republicans and push back against uninformed Democratic attacks aimed at those wins.
Led by Gun Owners of America and others such as the National Rifle Association, the Firearms Policy Coalition, and key House and Senate gun rights advocates, a major campaign is on to limit the scope of the Al Capone era National Firearms Act.
Changes put into the House version of the bill and added to in the Senate bill would end taxing and registration on suppressors and short-barreled rifles, such as the popular AR-style pistol, and the campaign is working to make sure that those provisions are accurately written into the final agreement.
Even with the changes, those items will still require an FBI background check to purchase.
“The current language in President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill dictates that SBRs, SBSs, AOWs, and suppressors would go through the same background check that federal law requires for FFL sales, minus any erroneous National Firearms Act taxes and accompanying registration requirements. Most importantly, NFA taxes and registration no longer apply on these items,” said Erich Pratt, senior vice president of Gun Owners of America, the lobbying group that practically parked in the Senate to win support for the changes.
