Show Notes

At first glance, the proposed federal legislation to deregulate firearm suppressors—coined the “Big Beautiful Bill”—looks like a long-awaited win for gun owners nationwide. The bill promises to remove suppressors from the burdensome National Firearms Act (NFA), eliminate the outdated $200 tax stamp, and treat suppressors like any other non-NFA firearm accessory. There is a catch. Alicia Garcia with The 2nd Syndicate explains that for law-abiding gun owners in Colorado and at least 17+ other states, that “win” could turn into a catastrophic loss of rights unless Congress adds a crucial piece of language: Section 3 of the Hearing Protection Act (HPA).
