Congress Passes the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Now Headed to President Trump

Earlier today the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill contained a provision that would, among other things, eliminate the burdensome $200 excise tax imposed by federal law on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and “any other weapons” as defined by the National Firearms Act (NFA).

This bill has worked its way across Capitol Hill for months and is now headed to President Trump’s desk for his signature, where it will become law.

While the final bill is far from perfect, this bill represents the first major reduction of taxes imposed on law-abiding gun owners in decades and the first major repeal of NFA provisions since its inception nearly a century ago. Additionally, the bill opens the NFA to new legal challenges which could finally put an end to the NFA and its infringement on our Second Amendment Rights.

NRA-ILA would like to thank Vice President JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA-04), Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA-01), Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY), Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN-06), Chairman Mike Crapo (R-ID), Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO-08), Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC-05), and NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC-09) for their dedication and leadership on this issue, and all of the Members of Congress who voted to pass H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
