Gun Owners of America (GOA) has successfully advocated for the removal of the $200 tax stamp and registration requirements for Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs), Short Barreled Shotguns (SBSs), Any Other Weapons (AOWs), and suppressors. This initiative was incorporated into the Senate Finance bill through budget reconciliation, leveraging the NFA's taxation basis. The process involved extensive research, lobbying, and public pressure to overcome opposition and navigate legislative procedures like the 'bird bath' review.

This video discusses a proposed bill from the Senate Finance Committee that aims to remove suppressors, short-barrel rifles (SBRs), and short-barrel shotguns (SBSs) from the National Firearms Act (NFA). Host Mark Smith explains that if passed, only machine guns and destructive devices would remain under the NFA. He also addresses concerns about amnesty for current possessors of these items, arguing that the 3-year statute of limitations under the NFA, which falls under the Internal Revenue Code, makes prosecution unlikely for past offenses.
