Today, the American Suppressor Association (ASA) led a coalition of nearly 40 organizations in a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune calling for the removal of suppressors from the unconstitutional National Firearms Act (NFA) tax scheme.

Joined by nearly 40 industry representatives, medical professionals, and Second Amendment groups including Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA), ASA makes the case for Congressional Republicans to remove suppressors from the NFA by including section 2 of the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) in the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”

An excerpt from the letter explains:

“The National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) is an unconstitutional tax scheme that impedes the ability of all Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Justified by Congress as a revenue generating measure, the NFA was enacted prior to Wickard v. Filburn, the landmark case that significantly expanded the scope of the Commerce Clause. In 1937, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the NFA as a revenue generating measure in Sonzinsky v. US. On behalf of the American Suppressor Association and law-abiding gun owners nationwide,

…we call on Congress to permanently remove suppressors from the unconstitutional NFA tax scheme by inserting Section 2 of the Hearing Protection Act into the reconciliation bill.”​
