"Big Beautiful Bill" and Supressors?

Chris1389 · May 22, 2025

The NRA put out a statement saying suppressors are being removed from the NFA list

dwa12479 · May 22, 2025

Question is..... how fast will the NY Legislature move to pass a bill outlawing their possession here. I give it 48 hours.

I looked at the bill and only see that the $200 tax would be reduced to $0. Am I missing something or are there other things hidden in it?

Follow Guns and Gadgets, Langley outdoors, etc. on YT: Suppressors are REMOVED from NFA in the bill that just passed House, the community put a ton of pressure on lawmakers to get this done (I've been following closely, calling/emailing reps). Looks like it'll remain intact through Senate; the pressure now is to get SHORT (short barrel riles/SG's removed from NFA) written in as it goes through Senate. Keep the pressure on, we're winning!

Not that its beyond them to make a law making something more illegal-er but § 265.02(2) already exists.

That is why I asked about this super secret version of the bill that is shrouded in mystery and somehow has a preemption clause.

Not that I believe for a minute that any pro-Gun Legislation is going to pass in the Democrat Legislature, there is one being floated around in EnCon to allow suppressors for Hunting...I won't say it can't happen, but there's not much chance, then again "Switchblades" are allowed, and of course there's the Threaded Muzzle classifying Semi-Automatic Rifles/handguns as Assault Rifles that would have to be amended.
As far as Legislating over existing Law: It's a self-aggrandizing thing that they can use as political capital for their next run at Office.

From what I understand the tax was not removed but was dropped to zero. If so does this mean one would still have to apply to still have a "stamp"

If the stamp is still on the books then perhaps next year it could go to say $1000 for all we know. I don't trust anyone in Washington folks.
Here in NY we are not allowed threaded barrels ... why because a suppressor could be added... Last NY will never allow them

Saltwater60 · May 22, 2025

It will never happen here and we can’t even have flash suppressors. I get this is t the point of the post but I’m glad the house passed the BBB.

Those guys can make videos about whatever they want, but where is the actual text of the Bill?

They have the actual bill displayed on-screen, and they read directly from it in the videos.

Suppressors were REMOVED from the NFA list in the bill that passed the House, not dropped to zero $, registration with ATF no longer required.

Yes, but they must be duct taped on your un-threaded NYS safe barrel, we're winning.

We can have threaded barrels on bolt actions, lever actions, single shots, and non detachable magazine semi autos. If by some miracle nys suddenly allowed suppressors you could attach it to any one of those type of firearms.

I want my (stamp) money back.

If it makes it through the senate and Trump signs it, it's probably a good time to transfer them from myself to a trust, tax free.

You’re not even seriously thinking NYS will allow use to have suppressors are you? I mean only assassins and hitmen need them so why should we be able to have them? It is a minuscule step in the right direction though.

No I don’t think it will ever happen outside of direct federal legislation. I was correcting the false statement that says we can’t have threaded barrels. We absolutely can have threaded barrels, just not on detachable magazine semi auto guns.

Legislation is effective 90 days post Trump's signature, according to the text of the bill. (for those of us residing in Free America)

GOPerfect · May 22, 2025

I wish that Trump would actually dig deep and really fix the large, broken issues in the US> This is a good thing, but so many larger things can be done. Things that are NOT being done.

Since the entire NFA is predicated on it being a tax enforcement mechanism, if the tax is $0, then it can't be enforced.

The NFA registry is ostensibly there to enforce the $200 tax. Possession of an unregistered device is technically just tax evasion. $0 tax, then zero crime.

No tax means no registry.
Shouldn't be anything to transfer.

It's not like you're going to transfer your scope to your trust. Suppressors should be like that.

Or just permanently attach it to your semi-auto like it was any other thread cap.

no paperwork other than a 4473

Why would you need a 4473 for a can that sticks to the end of the barrel? That's like making people go through a 4473 for replacement sights, magazines, trigger kits, etc. (Don't give the pricks any ideas!)

Correct, no 4473. Suppressors become an accessory, like a pistol grip or a scope.

All of mine are in single shot trusts. I will pull the trigger on a few more if this change makes it through reconciliation and signed into law.

I'm definitely not going to start researching suppressors anytime soon. Never going to happen in NY.
