As Second Amendment policy returns to the national spotlight under a second Trump administration, one provision buried in a massive reconciliation bill could spell the beginning of the end for suppressor regulations under the National Firearms Act. The House version removes them from the tax scheme entirely, while the Senate version goes even further—potentially gutting the $200 tax on other NFA-regulated items. 

Joining us is Knox Williams, president and executive director of the American Suppressor Association, to unpack what’s in the bill, what could derail it, and how his organization is fighting to end suppressor bans and taxes across the country. Also discussed: the Biden-era legacy of regulatory overreach, Trump’s executive order to review federal actions against 2A rights, and what gun control nonprofits like Giffords are doing to push back.
