GOA Secures Major Senate Victory: NFA Tax Repeal Advances in “One Big Beautiful Bill”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 16, 2025

Thanks to aggressive advocacy from GOA and mounting grassroots pressure, the Senate’s version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” now includes full repeal of the $200 NFA tax on:

• Suppressors
• Short-barreled rifles (SBRs)
• Short-barreled shotguns (SBSs)
• “Any Other Weapons” (AOWs)

This expands the House-passed repeal of the suppressor tax and represents one of the most significant advances for gun rights in decades. The bill next heads to the “Byrd Bath” review, where non-budgetary provisions may be stripped, but because the NFA operates primarily as a tax mechanism — given that the Supreme Court held that the NFA is primarily a tax in Sonzinky v. U.S. (1937) — GOA feels strongly that the provision ought to survive.
