This video from Gun Owners of America debunks claims made by Senate Democrats regarding suppressors.

Senator Chuck Schumer is attempting to block the deregulation of gun suppressors from the National Firearms Act (NFA) by arguing it violates the 'Bird Amendment' in a budget reconciliation bill. The speaker contends this argument is flawed, citing Supreme Court precedent (Suzinski v. United States and NFIB v. Sebelius) that establishes the NFA as a constitutional taxation and revenue-raising scheme, thus falling within the scope of reconciliation bills. The video suggests Schumer's efforts are unlikely to succeed.
