Passing in a scalpel-slim 215-214 vote, the U.S. House of Representatives this morning voted to pass H.R. 1, better known as President Trump’s “One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” sending it on to the Senate. Included in the final House version of the bill is Section 2 of the Hearing Protection Act, which would remove suppressors entirely from the National Firearms Act of 1934.
The move is a historic advance for Second Amendment advocates. Just hours before the vote, gun rights backers – including here at Guns.com – directed a letter to House and Senate leadership demanding an end to the “unconstitutional National Firearms Act (NFA) tax scheme.”

While an earlier 400-page version of the bill, sent to the Rules Committee from the Ways and Means Committee, only included a provision to reduce the transfer tax on suppressors to $0, the manager's amendment to the version passed this week deletes the NFA regulations surrounding the devices overall.
Thus far, it doesn't look like the companion SHORT Act, which aims to remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and other weapons from the definition of a firearm under the NFA, has been included so perhaps the Senate will add it in.
