| Stephen Miller - Delisting firearms suppressors: the time is finally right |
| 2025-06-01 |
| [American Thinker] Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) is limited in scope. It will, if Senate Republicans do not once again earn the title "the stupid party," prevent the biggest tax increase and enable the biggest welfare reform in history. It can’t accomplish everything necessary to save the republic at once, but it can accomplish something Republicans, when they had the power, failed to do over and over again: delist suppressors. At present, to own a suppressor one must submit to rigorous government vetting and pay a non-transferrable $200 tax. Approval can take up to a year. Suppressor retailers now offer their services handling the paperwork, but suppressors, because their numbers are artificially reduced, commonly retail for around $1000, in many cases much more than the retail price of the guns to which they’ll be affixed. It’s the same process necessary to buy a machine gun. Delisting will remove the tax, intrusive and unnecessary vetting, and enable the free market to substantially lower prices. Americans think that a good thing. Socialists don’t. Maintaining maximum control over the lives of Americans is baked into the DNA of Democrats. They lied about a vegetable in the White House because they didn’t want Americans to have a choice for president. They’re lying about suppressors too. |

| #1 Suppressors hardly make your gun quiet (that's only in movies), but they do help save people's hearing! |
