Washington, D.C. – Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) successfully secured the inclusion of a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill eliminating taxes under the National Firearms Act for gun owners.
“I’m pleased that my legislation to remove the Depression-era $200 tax on suppressors, as well as short-barreled rifles and shotguns, was included in the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill,” said Lummis. “This will allow more law-abiding Wyoming gun owners to protect their hearing while exercising their Constitutional rights. I will never stop fighting to cut taxes and ensure all Americans can fully enjoy their Second Amendment rights.”
Background:
- This provision eliminates the $200 Federal tax on the transfer of suppressors, short barreled rifles and short barreled shotguns under the National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. 5811).
- Senator Lummis introduced the Historical Firearms and Lawful Purpose Act in 2024, and is also a longtime sponsor of both the Hearing Protection Act and the SHORT Act.
