The “One Big Beautiful Bill” passed by Congress and sent to President Trump for signing includes provisions related to firearm parts, specifically targeting regulations under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Based on available information, the bill contains the following firearm-related provisions:
- Elimination of the $200 Excise Tax: The bill removes the $200 tax imposed by the NFA on suppressors (silencers), short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and “any other weapons” (AOWs) as defined by the NFA.
- Removal of Suppressors from NFA Regulations: The legislation includes language from Section 2 of the Hearing Protection Act, which completely removes suppressors from the NFA, eliminating the need for ATF registration and associated regulatory burdens for these devices.
- Deregulation of Short-Barreled Rifles and Shotguns: The bill ends NFA taxes and registration requirements for short-barreled rifles (SBRs) and short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), aligning with provisions from the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today (SHORT) Act.
- Removal of “Any Other Weapons” (AOWs) from NFA: The bill also eliminates NFA taxes and registration for AOWs, a category that includes certain firearms like disguised guns or those with specific modifications.
This is the latest I’ve been able to determine. It’s not the easiest thing to decipher the vast amount of information in something like this Bill that is so huge.
We’ll see the true impact over the coming months.
Take care all –

I was hoping there was a provision in this bill to eliminate the ATF forever.
