Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Strips Al Capone-Era Tax On Suppressors

• Zero Hedge

Gun rights groups celebrated Thursday morning after the House narrowly passed President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" in a 215–214 vote. Organizations like Gun Owners of America praised the legislation for including the Constitutional Hearing Protection Act (CHPA), which eliminates both the federal registration requirement and the $200 tax on firearm suppressors. The provision drew sharp criticism from anti-gunners and leftist media outlets as the bill now heads to the Senate. 

"The House of Representatives passes GOA-backed language 215-214 to ELIMINATE the unconstitutional taxation & registration of suppressors under the NFA," GOA wrote on X, adding, "The bill heads to the Senate, where GOA will fight to include protections for short-barreled firearms too."
