The act removed a $200 tax on sound suppressors and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pistol-brace-rule-submitted-by-atf\/\" title=\"Pistol Brace Rule Submitted by ATF\">short-barreled guns<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >gun rights groups argue nullifies<\/a> the federal government&#8217;s authority to require registration and the complex submission process for these firearms. Prominent Second Amendment organizations, including the NRA, have filed a lawsuit aiming to eliminate NFA regulations, asserting that suppressors and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-gun-executive-action-risks-turning-millions-of-gun-owners-into-felons\/\" title=\"Biden gun executive ...ion risks turning millions of gun owners into felons\">short-barreled rifles<\/a> are popular, safe, and not historically subject to such controls. while the legal battle could take several years, supporters believe this change aligns with Second Amendment rights and reflects a shift toward more gun-friendly policies under the Trump administration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">One Big Beautiful Bill Act opens door to ending some gun controls<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2197465\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The Independence Day signing by President Donald Trump of his &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3419321\/gun-groups-cheer-suppressor-victory-second-amendment-house-budget-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">big, beautiful bill<\/a>&rdquo;

<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3044982\/nra-under-new-management\/\" title=\"\">Doug Hamlin,<\/a> CEO of the National Rifle Association, said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>If gun groups get their way, buying a suppressor or short-barreled firearm will be as easy as getting any weapon: pick it out, pass the FBI background check, and pay the gun store clerk.<\/p>\n<p>Gone will be the multiple-page sales application to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, complete with fingerprints, the registration of the item for federal files, and the monthslong wait for approval even before the FBI background check takes place and the sale is finalized.<\/p>\n<p>But first, the NFA has to be challenged in court, and that process has just begun. This month, the NRA, the American Suppressor Association, the Second Amendment Foundation, the Firearms Policy Coalition, and Prime Protection STL Tactical Boutique joined two NRA members in a lawsuit challenging the act.<\/p>\n<p>In a 31-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in St. Louis, the groups argued that without the taxing provision removed by Trump&rsquo;s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the ATF loses its ability to control sales of suppressors and short-barreled rifles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-scribd wp-block-embed-scribd wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NFA Suit\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/embeds\/898214810\/content\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7729220222793488\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"898214810\" width=\"696\" height=\"1000\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\">          (function() { var scribd=document.createElement(\"script\"); scribd.type=\"text\/javascript\"; scribd.async=true; scribd.src=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/javascripts\/embed_code\/inject.js\"; var s=document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })()        <\/script> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Instead, the rules should fall back on the Second Amendment, which appears to allow restrictions on dangerous and unusual weapons. Suppressors and short-barreled rifles, such as the AR-style firearms used by hunters and plinkers, are very popular and safe.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s really no historical tradition that supports the registration of suppressors and short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns,&rdquo; said Hamlin.<\/p>\n<p>The NFA was a product of government efforts to shut down crime gangs terrorizing some big cities. Today, short-barreled rifles and suppressors are used in very few criminal shootings.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;1934 was a long time ago, and you don&rsquo;t have Al Capone and the rest running around. And so I think it&rsquo;s time that we get this done,&rdquo; said Hamlin.<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned, however, that it could take three to five years to push the lawsuit through the courts and likely to the U.S. Supreme Court. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re in it for the long term to get it done,&rdquo; he told <em>Washington Secrets.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hamlin said the St. Louis court was chosen for the lawsuit because it has been &ldquo;open-minded&rdquo; to the Second Amendment.
