“Big Beautiful Bill 2.0: Senate Axes Gun Stamp Fee, Rattles Anti‑Gunners, and Trump Says ‘You’re Welcome’”

So, guess what? In the 887‑page delight known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Senate Republicans slipped in a golden nugget for gun owners: no more $200 tax on suppressors and other NFA‑regulated toys—yep, they repealed the stamp fee entirely.

Cue the fainting anti‑gun lobby in 3…2…1. Imagine them clutching their pearls as the Senate ignored their terror over “silencer proliferation” and instead handed a win to Second Amendment enthusiasts.

It went down like this:

• Senate passed it—50‑50 split, JD Vance cast the tiebreaker.
• House wrapped it up, sending the final version over the fence at 218‑214.
• Trump sealed the deal, signs it before presiding over some fireworks (literally).

Anti-gunners: angry. Gun-rights allies: popping champagne.

Listen, if your argument is “we need stamps because silencers are stealth weapons,” you might want to rethink your position when the Senate just said, “Nah, let them supress in peace.” What’s next—taxing binoculars?

Why this matters (with barely concealed sarcasm):

1. $200 saved = more money in your pocket. Maybe enough for extra 5.56.
2. Precedent set: Repeal a tax fee once, GOP might do it again.
3. Optics: They call it “reconciliation,” but it’s really “Republicans saying yes to guns, no to fees.”
