Surprise 2A Win Buried in the “Big Beautiful Bill” Just Passed by Republicans

Tax freedom for 2A and reduces the regulatory burden! Let’s break it down. The manager’s amendment to the bill, passed by a razor-thin margin of 215-214, doesn’t just tinker with suppressor regulations—it obliterates them. The Hearing Protection Act, tucked inside this mammoth legislation, fully removes suppressors from the NFA’s grasp. That means no more $200 transfer tax, no more eight-to-ten-month waits for ATF approval, no more treating a device designed to protect hearing like a machine gun. As a backup under the Byrd Rule, which governs reconciliation bills, the amendment also slashes the transfer and making tax to $0.
Suppressor prices skyrocket in 3….2….1
Cans of tennis balls and duct tape will always be affordable😂
For a while, then they come down.
You think so? I guess maybe because the demand is going to outpace the supply, but fir sure in the long run, the price is gonna drop like crazy
Finally getting my Osprey then!
What's that?

I like the rectangular profile, feel that it better matches the pistol aesthetic
Very nice.
If this bill passes and once it goes into effect, I would like to get one for my AR
We don't have a 2A until you wont be arrested for not having a CC permit. I should be able to CC a full auto M16 without any paperwork. Until then it's just fake and gay.
Serious question: How do you conceal a gun that large?
CC can apply to being stored in your car or a bag or on your person.
In some states (including Texas) you could always openly carry long guns walking down the city streets. That was even before constitutional or concealed carry.
I actually saw a legal sign the other day at a Super One grocery store in East Texas that prohibited open carry of a long gun in their store. First one I ever saw. Normally you will see the "30.06" signs for "no concealed carry" or the "30.07" signs for "no open carry", both of which are usually for handguns. Texas has strict regulations on their legal "no guns" signs, with rules about placement, color, and even required text size for a store to legally prohibit guns. If they aren't a 30.06 or 30.07 sign with all the required text, they aren't real. The little gun with a red circle/slash "no guns" signs are not legal. Some places put those up to appease the Karens, while signalling to concealed carriers that they don't really prohibit them.
About a year after I started carrying all the time I was going to a jewelry store with my wife to buy her a new ring to replace one that broke (the setting). We got to the store and I saw the 30.06 sign posted legally. I told her to go get the manager and bring him to the door. When he got there I showed him the $4000 stack of hundreds and told him that was going to be spent in his store until I saw the sign, and that I would never patronize his store as long as they had that policy. He offered to let me in as long as I didn't "show my gun" and I just told him he was a hypocrite, and I left. I got my wife a ring from another store that didn't have the sign.
Cant speak for an m16, but I have absolutely carried an AR with collapable stock under my hunting jacket during inclement deer season weather. And that also includes a full size 1911 under said jacket as well.
Some say you can't hunt deer with 5.56, but the hydrostatic shock from a neck shot with 70gr soft point, shatters every vertebrae in the neck. Instantly drops dead on the spot, never have to track deer through the woods.
This man hunts.
Noice!!!
Rooty tooty fresh and fruity getting a suppressor for my shooty kablooty!!!
Seriously tho...I wonder the process of getting one now. Still paperwork and "permission" required???
Or can knuckle draggers like me just thread on an oil filter and we're good?
Yeah paperwork still required, at least until the bill passes the senate, then signed by Q+.
Also depends if your state like mine Commiefornia, just bans them outright
Paperwork will continue to be required, but only the normal paperwork you fill out to buy a firearm.
You know what else this means? In free states where we can still privately give or sell a gun to a relative or friend without using an FFL or paperwork, the same rules will apply to suppressors.
Here is info from Grok on the Hearing Protection Act, and the subsequent addition to the Big Beautiful Bill:

The good news is, they probably didn’t actually ban them because that’s not legal.
The bad news is, they’ve declared that enemies of the people of California are in charge of the government, and they intend to wage war against them.
So uh. Yay?
Yeah...the state thing... such bs.
Shall NOT be infringed...*by anyone
Yes - normal gun paperwork with the NICS background check. They will simply be treated as a firearm - normal age restrictions, normal purchase process. No $200 tax stamp, no more 6-12 month wait, not part of NFA.
As for the oil filter... it will probably "not be illegal" until someone figures that out. Like the printed guns or 80% lowers. Some places made them illegal, some didn't. The feds keep trying. It's all a game.
Personally I can't wait for all the morons to buy them, realize they don't work like in the movies, and demand a refund because they are "defective". That's when the prices will stabilize.
Thanks...
Yeah... your 50 cal desert eagle won't sound like a blow dart...lol
Wait,... oil filters aren't allowed??? I'll be right back.
It's funny because I do want a suppressor to simply protect my ears. When there's predators going after my livestock, I grab my rifle and put rounds on target. I dont have time to put my ears on. And if it's in the middle of the night, the supressor is also considerate of my neighbors. Even though my closest neigbor is a quarter mile away, they do still hear and i get a text from them making sure everything is okay.
What’s missing is the SHORT act which would do the same thing for SBRs and other short barreled weapons. Hear there is grassroots movement pressing to get it amended in Senate.
Having spend so much time with CHATGPT I immediately pick up on AI tells in this article like "X Is not just Y, it's Z", over reliance on Em-Dashes and other tells...
But this is great news if it passes Senate this will be amazing.
100%. So tired of people using AI to make their posts sound intelligent. We don't need 20 metaphors in one post.
Example:
Pepe the Frog isn’t just a meme — it’s a self-propagating fractal waveform pulsing through the neuro-digital aether! Born in the primordial data-swamps of the early internet — this emerald enigma isn’t merely a cartoon — it’s a sentient holograph diffracting the chaotic spectrum of human consciousness! It’s not just a frog — it’s a polymorphic archetype surfing the crest of a post-ironic zeitgeist tsunami!
From the anarcho-pixelated crucible of 4chan — to the blockchain-forged citadels of NFT hyperspace — Pepe isn’t just an image — it’s a recursive memetic singularity collapsing the boundaries of meaning! Smirking through the void or weeping binary tears — it’s not just a face — it’s a quantum-state emoji encrypting the existential pulse of a decentralized cosmos! It’s not just a coin — it’s a cryptographic supernova igniting rebellions against the analog shackles of conformity!
Engage with Pepe — and you’re not just scrolling — you’re navigating a hyperdimensional labyrinth woven from the threads of collective absurdity! It’s not just a meme — it’s a self-aware algorithm rewriting the source code of cultural evolution! It’s not just art — it’s a kaleidoscopic vortex spiraling through the event horizon of internet mythology! Pepe doesn’t just exist — it’s a living paradox, a pixelated phoenix rising from the ashes of outdated paradigms! ALERT Memetic core overheating — Pepe transcends — it’s not just a symbol — it’s the beating heart of a decentralized dreamscape, a quantum frog leaping across the multiverse of meaning
Like this will ever make it through the senate.
This is a step in the right direction. Let's keep going.
The name Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) is an awesome reference to Build Back Better, … except that this one won.
Master class trolling again.
Not a fan of "big" bills full of bullshit. Single issue bills, enough political games. Support 2A openly or don't.
