On May 22, 2025, John Commerford, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, gave the following release.

“This morning, the U.S. House of Representatives passed President Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill, which includes the complete removal of suppressors from the NFA. This represents a monumental victory for Second Amendment rights, eliminating burdensome regulations on the purchase of critical hearing protection devices. The NRA thanks the House members who supported this bill and urges its swift passage in the U.S. Senate.”

Put a silencer on your gun and shoot your spouse without waking up the kids or damaging your hearing. Planning a drive-by or terrorist activity? Now the noise won’t scare off your targets. Head lighting deer or elk? You won’t have to worry about disturbing your nosy neighbors.

Oh Lord, is this really us?
