Based on the information available as of July 3, 2025, the US Congress has passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (also known as H.R. 1), which includes provisions impacting the regulation of suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and short-barreled shotguns (SBSs).
Key Changes:
- Elimination of NFA Tax: The bill eliminates the $200 tax stamp requirement associated with purchasing or manufacturing suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and Any Other Weapons (AOWs) under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
- Continued NFA Regulation: While the tax is eliminated, the regulatory framework of the NFA concerning these items remains in place. This means individuals still need to register these items with the ATF and adhere to associated recordkeeping requirements.
- Background Checks Remain: These items will still be subject to background checks when purchased from a licensed dealer, as per the Gun Control Act of 1968.
- This legislation is heading to the President's desk for signing, where it is expected to become law.
- Gun rights organizations, like Gun Owners of America (GOA), are planning a lawsuit to challenge the remaining NFA regulations, arguing that the registration scheme is unconstitutional without the tax provision.
- Earlier versions of the bill proposed removing suppressors entirely from the NFA, which did not pass the Senate.
