This video discusses the perceived betrayal of gun owners by Republicans in the House Ways and Means Committee regarding silencers and short-barreled firearms. Gun Owners of America (GOA) expresses frustration that a bill intended to repeal the National Firearms Act (NFA) taxes on these items instead retained registration and fingerprinting requirements, with only a reduction in the tax. The organization argues that the NFA itself is an unconstitutional tax on Second Amendment rights and that these items, like suppressors, are commonly owned and used for hearing protection and home defense, not primarily in crimes. GOA urges constituents to contact their representatives to push for the complete removal of suppressors and short-barreled firearms from NFA regulation.
