Virginia Gun Owners Defeat $500 Suppressor Tax

Virginia Gun Owners Defeat $500 Suppressor Tax

The announcement that suppressors in the Commonwealth of Virginia will not be taxed is being considered a victory by many. The proposed suppressor tax has been removed, at least for now. It would seem Abigail Spanberger and her gang of anti-gun tyrants are getting the pushback they deserve. The Virginia gun grabbers might be starting to realize that taking advantage of the citizens they represent is not good optics for reelection, and gun owners across the Country are demanding Democrats obey and uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Especially the 2nd Amendment.

If SCOTUS Bans Illegals From The Census, Dems Could Lose Power For Years

Census figures used for congressional apportionment, redistricting, and redistributing federal funds have historically counted illegal aliens.

There are many drivers behind the new nullification crisis that the left is stoking over immigration, but perhaps the most significant political one is that the Trump administration’s mass deportation policy poses a greater threat to Democrat Party power than perhaps any other single initiative.

If federal authorities were to successfully remove millions of illegal aliens from the country, some estimates suggest it would result in the reallocation of nearly a dozen House seats and electoral college votes. Billions of dollars in taxpayer funding would be redirected out of blue states and into red ones.

That is because the census figures used for congressional apportionment, redistricting, and redistributing federal funds have historically counted all residents including illegal aliens. On balance, this has benefited Democrat-led states — where such populations are largely though not exclusively concentrated — over Republican-led ones.

The projected outmigration of citizens from blue to red states would compound the negative effect of the deportations for Democrats as we head towards the 2030 census, potentially swinging control of the House and the presidency in Republicans’ favor going forward.

Silencer Central Helps South Dakota Pass Suppressor Deregulation

Silencer Central, America’s leader in silencer sales and advocacy for suppressor ownership, is proud to announce that its work with the South Dakota legislature is paying off. Both the South Dakota state senate and house of representatives have voted unanimously to deregulate suppressors. The bill now goes to Governor Rhoden for signature into law.

“We are all trying to work on complete deregulation of silencers at the Federal level,” said Brandon Maddox, Silencer Central Founder and CEO. “We found that 16 states had regulations in place requiring the Federal Stamp for ownership. Now that South Dakota’s government has voted to remove that roadblock, we can focus on getting these laws overturned in the other states.” Maddox continued, “We are excited that we now have some momentum. Last summer, we started this process, working with our representatives, law enforcement, and our lobbyists to get this passed. I was honored to have had the opportunity to testify on behalf of silencer owners across the state and help get everyone on board to make this happen. Now, we are focused on these other states as well as full Federal deregulation.”

The South Dakota bill removes suppressors from the state’s definition for “controlled weapons” and eliminates the requirement for a Federal Stamp should the NFA designation or the transfer process continue to change. Silencer Central is working together with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) in every affected state to develop and support similar legislation. This paves the way for full Federal deregulation of suppressors, furthering the mission of Silencer Central to simplify suppressor ownership.

Proposed WV House Bill Would Expand Castle Doctrine, Strengthen Self-Defense Protections

CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) — A newly introduced bill in the West Virginia House of Delegates would expand the state’s Castle Doctrine laws, strengthening legal protections for people who use force — including deadly force — in self-defense.

House Bill 4878, introduced on January 28, would broaden when and where West Virginians may legally defend themselves, their homes, and others, while also shielding them from both criminal charges and civil lawsuits when force is lawfully used.

The legislation clarifies that a lawful occupant may use reasonable force, including deadly force, against an intruder or attacker inside a home or residence if they reasonably believe the intruder could cause death, serious bodily harm, or intends to commit a felony.

The bill also extends those protections beyond the walls of the home to include the curtilage — areas immediately surrounding a residence, such as yards, driveways, and porches — and removes any duty to retreat when a person is lawfully present.

We’ve been able to do online sales for the past 40 years. (FOPA ’86)
At least for the time being, this is standard operational grandstanding that’ll go nowhere.


More Restrictions: Democrat Reps. Push Bill to Limit Online Ammo Sales

Reps. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) announced Friday their re-introduction of legislation to limit the online sale of ammunition.
A press release from Mfume’s office indicates the bill, called the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act, “would require federally licensed ammunition dealers to confirm the identity of individuals who arrange to purchase ammunition over the internet by verifying a photo I.D. in person.”

The legislation would “also require ammunition vendors to report any sales of more than 1,000 rounds within five consecutive days to the U.S. Attorney General, if the person purchasing ammunition is not a licensed dealer.”

Rep. Mfume commented on the legislation, saying, “Since we last introduced this bill, the crisis of mass shootings has continued unabated. We’ve been living with this scourge of violence for so many years as assault weapons and enormous amounts of ammunition continue to fall into the hands of diabolical people.”

He added, “Mass shootings are not going to stop on their own, and we cannot keep waiting for the next one to occur.”

Rep. Coleman said:

Regulating online ammunition sales is a commonsense step to countering the number of mass shootings we see every year. This legislation closes the loophole that makes tragedies like these so unfortunately common. Public safety must come before convenience for an unregulated market: Americans send us to Washington because it is our job to protect them, not mourn them.

The online ammo sales gun control bill has 17 co-sponsors.

Florida House Wastes Little Time Repealing Parkland-Era Gun Control Law

It didn’t take long for the Florida House to approve a bill that would allow adults 18 and older to once again purchase long guns in the state, undoing a measure adopted after the Parkland shootings in 2018 that raised the age to purchase a firearm to 21. The 2026 session kicked off in Tallahassee on Tuesday, and by Thursday afternoon the repeal bill had already cleared the lower chamber in a 74-37 vote.

House Majority Leader Tyler Sirois, a Merritt Island Republican who is sponsoring this year’s bill, said the Parkland shooting was a “tragedy.” But he said lowering the minimum gun-buying age to 18 is about Second Amendment rights.

“The legislation seeks to restore the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens,” Sirois said.

But Rep. Christine Hunschofsky, a Parkland Democrat who was the city’s mayor at the time of the mass shooting, said the law that increased the minimum age to 21 has “stood the test of time” and that it has been found constitutional by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“This bill today is going to hurt families,” Hunschofsky said.

It’s true that the Eleventh Circuit upheld Florida’s law using the bizarre argument that “minors” couldn’t enter into legal contracts at the time of the Founding, which it considered analogous to depriving young adults of their ability to purchase a firearm today. But Hunschofsky failed to acknowledge that other appellate courts have concluded that adults under the age of 21 are fully vested with their Second Amendment rights, and the Supreme Court is currently hanging on to close to a half-dozen cases dealing with the conflict, including the NRA’s challenge to Florida’s law.

The law in question has been in place less than a decade, so it’s hardly stood the test of time. It has, however, remained in place despite the fact that the Florida House of Representatives has voted to repeal it for four years straight. Over the past three years the Florida Senate has failed to follow suit, and it sounds like gun owners once again have their work cut out for them in the upper chamber.

When asked Tuesday about the issue, Senate President Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, noted that last year, senators “were not supportive of it. I have not heard anything different this year.”

“We are clearly a responsible gun-law state and we have a lot of freedoms here with the Second Amendment, which I’m proud of,” Albritton said. “But as it relates to that bill, it will be determined by the (committee) chairs in the Senate and the Senate appetite for such a bill as a whole.”

Albritton himself has been noncommittal about repeal, but former Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, who chairs the powerful Senate Rules Committee, has been vocally opposed to undoing the gun control law. Albritton could always use some parliamentary slight of hand and assign the House bill to another committee, but at this point he’s expressed no interest in doing so.

Florida gun owners should be contacting their state senators and demanding they restore the right to keep and bear arms to young adults in the Sunshine State. I think there’s a very good chance the Supreme Court will eventually say that it’s unconstitutional to block adults under the age of 21 from purchasing or possessing firearms, but we’re still probably a couple of years away from that decision. In the meantime, the rights of under-21s continue to be curtailed, and its up to the Florida legislature to correct its error. The House has done its part. Now it’s time for the Senate to do the same.

Nope. Not going to agree to anything that will keep the NFRTR registration. If they want to tax sales of NFA firearms for medicare funding, do it like they do with Pittman-Robertson funding for wildlife restoration, an excise tax at the point of sale.

Health Care for Gun Rights? Bill Would Reverse Silencer Tax for Medicare Funds

A coalition of Democrat legislators is backing a move to rewind last summer’s repeal of the NFA tax on suppressors, short-barrel rifles, and similar items to fund their own health-care initiative.

These sponsors are backing the so-called Medicare Investment and Gun Violence Prevention Act, which would repeal the hard-fought removal of NFA taxes established by Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. The scheme would then reinstitute the tax and direct the funds to pay for Medicare costs.

Current backers include Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and a host of blue-state senators like Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.). They claim the re-removal of Americans’ gun rights would scrounge up some $1.7 billion in taxes over the next decade.

“This legislation is a 2-for-1 response to Republicans driving up health care costs and letting guns invade our communities,” claimed Sen. Alsobrooks. “When Republicans snuck in tax cuts to the Big Ugly Bill on gun silencers and short-barreled rifles, they made their position clear: guns matter more than Americans’ lives. At a time when health care costs are skyrocketing, and just days after yet another tragic school shooting, now is the time to act. Our bill will repeal the unnecessary tax cuts on deadly weapons and use the money saved for Americans’ health care, which has been decimated by Republicans.”

Of course, it is not “money saved,” as Sen. Alsobrooks claims. It is money taken, via a defunct tax mechanism, from Americans exercising their constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights. Ironically, it also attacks proven hearing safety devices like suppressors in the name of better health care.

The move to snatch back gun rights via NFA taxes is backed by a host of anti-gun interest groups, ranging from Newtown Action Alliance and Brady to Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence.

While the plot is an extreme long shot in the currently Republican-controlled House and Senate, many Democrats are eagerly looking to next year’s midterm elections. At the moment, it is hard to take the barely 2.5-page bill seriously, but 2026 is just around the corner.

Governor Rhoden working with State Senator Crabtree to deregulate suppressors in South Dakota

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) -An effort is underway to deregulate suppressors in South Dakota.

Governor Rhoden and State Senator Casey Crabtree will be working to remove suppressors from the list of controlled weapons in South Dakota. Removing suppressors from the state’s controlled weapons list would still mean they are regulated under federal law and purchasers would still need to go through background checks on other measures. Rhoden’s office says however the step sends a message of support to further deregulate the parts at the federal level. South Dakota NRA State Director Brian Gosch says he agrees with that sentiment. Gosch added during a phone call on Tuesday, “Suppressors are all about hearing protection”

Rhoden told KOTA Territory News last week that he believed the federal government was heading toward deregulation and that South Dakota was taking the lead on the issue.

“It shows that we respect our 2nd amendment rights in South Dakota, and was really, the suppressors were vilified and shouldn’t have been on that list in the first place,” said Rhoden.

State Senator Crabtree and Rhoden both initially announced their own individual proposals before announcing they would work together on Tuesday. Crabtree said in a press release, “Thanks to President Trump and Republican Leaders, the One Big Beautiful Bill was a major win for gun owners purchasing suppressors. This session, we will update South Dakota law to reflect this Second Amendment victory.”

Crabtree was referring to the Big, Beautiful Bill’s removal of a $200-dollar tax stamp to purchase suppressors. That tax will expire next month.

BREAKING: Dems Finally Cave on Schumer Shutdown Clown Show; Newsom: ‘Pathetic.’

What did Senate Democrats get out of the 40-day Schumer Shutdown? Nothing more than what they would have had with the clean continuing resolution.

Chuck Schumer’s caucus threw in the towel last night, with at least ten Democrats plegding to vote to end the filibuster on the CR. The Senate will replace that CR with new language that would extend government operations until the end of January while negotiations continue on the FY2026 budget. Forty days ago, Schumer demanded passage of an extension of expiring ObamaCare subsidies, plus repeals of Medicaid changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill that eliminated coverage for illegal aliens.

So what did Democrats end up getting for this biblical walk in the idiotic budget wilderness? A promise for a vote on the ACA subsidies, with no guarantee of GOP support:

“We may not have gotten everything we wanted”? Democrats didn’t get anything they wanted. They didn’t even get a pass on the filibuster for the debate on ACA subsidies, let alone a commitment for an extension. We’ll get back to that in a moment, but the only real concession in this deal from the GOP is a pledge to rescind the layoffs that Russ Vought began, and those only took place because Schumer shut the government down:

A handful of Senate Democrats on Sunday indicated they are ready to advance a package of bills that could end the government shutdown, multiple sources told Axios.

Why it matters: It is the most significant movement toward a bipartisan breakthrough in the talks to reopen the government in over a month.

  • At least 10 Senate Democrats are poised to support a procedural motion to advance a package of spending bills and a short-term funding measure through the end of January, multiple sources from both parties told Axios.
  • The deal includes a December vote on a Democratic proposal to extend ACA tax credits for one year, multiple sources said. It would take 60 votes to pass.
  • It also includes language aimed at providing assistance to federal employees who were laid off during the shutdown, as well as a provision to fund SNAP benefits through Sept. 30.

New Hampshire Bill Strengthening Second Amendment Rights on Public Property Advances.

A bill reaffirming that the New Hampshire Legislature, not state agencies or local governments, holds sole authority to regulate weapons on public property narrowly cleared a House committee this week.

House Bill 609, sponsored by Rep. Samuel Farrington (R-Rochester), seeks to close what he calls loopholes in the state’s existing firearms preemption law after learning the New Hampshire Department of Transportation barred its employees from carrying firearms on the job.

“The intent here is to emphasize that the Legislature’s preemption is the last word on the subject,” Farrington told the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.

Expanding Preemption

New Hampshire’s current preemption law, signed in 2003 by then-Gov. Craig Benson, already reserves regulation of firearms, components, ammunition, and supplies to the Legislature. In 2011, Gov. John Lynch expanded that statute to include knives.

Farrington’s proposal would extend those protections even further—covering stun guns, Tasers, pepper spray, and other self-defense tools. It also bars any state, county, or municipal agency from creating or enforcing its own weapons rules that conflict with state law.

Partisan Divide

The House panel approved the measure 9–7 along strict party lines, with Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed. Critics argued the legislation could handcuff local authorities from setting policies for large public events, such as the New Hampshire Air Show at Pease Air National Guard Base in Newington.

“This is of a very broad, sweeping nature,” said Rep. David Meuse (D-Portsmouth). “It would override the practices of a lot of communities and further restrict local control.”

Supporters countered that Pease’s ban on firearms wouldn’t be affected, since it sits on federal property.

Florida bill would allow armed volunteers to protect churches, synagogues, mosques
Sen. Don Gaetz said he ‘hoped (the bill) would never have been necessary.’

It’s rare when Sen. Don Gaetz says he filed a bill that he “hoped would never have been necessary.”

“But pastors in my area came to me with the request that I help them,” said Gaetz, R-Niceville, of Senate Bill 52.

The bill he spoke of, entitled “Security Services at Places of Worship,” would provide an exemption from licensure requirements for certain volunteers who provide armed security for places of worship.

“I hope the bill will help in assisting churches who feel like they have to protect themselves and their parishioners,” Gaetz said.

Here’s why: A string of recent shootings across the country and a major Florida court ruling on gun rights have reignited the national debate over firearms.

Recently in late August, two children were killed and and 17 people, including 14 children, were wounded after a shooter opened fire at a Catholic church in Minneapolis.

And last week, on the same day conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed at an event at a Utah university, two teenagers were wounded after a 16-year-old student fired shots inside his Colorado high school. He later killed himself as authorities confronted him outside.

In Florida, the state’s 1st District Court of Appeal declared unconstitutional  a state law that bans the open carrying of firearms. A three-judge panel said the ban was incompatible with the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, as of Sept. 18, there have been 305 mass shootings in 2025.

Gaetz’s bill will allow volunteers who meet certain requirements to provide security for places of worship if the security plan is approved by the local sheriff’s office; the volunteer has a valid Florida concealed carry permit and does not receive compensation for the security work; and if they pass a level 2 background check.

A level 2 background check is a state and federal-level fingerprint-based check, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The bill language says “place of worship” but also includes the words “church, mosque, or synagogue.”

“I was approached by Protestant ministers,” Gaetz said, adding that he has not spoken to Roman Catholic clergy, imams or rabbis.

But “I took the liberty of defining a house of worship in a way that would include all denominations,” he explained.

Antisemitic incidents in the United States have increased in the past couple of years, according to the Anti-Defamation League. In 2024, these incidents rose for the fourth consecutive year, reaching 9,354 total incidents, the highest level ever recorded in 45 years of record keeping.

There will be a companion bill in the Florida House, Gaetz said, and he expects it to be filed in the coming days. The 2026 legislative session convenes Jan. 13, and committee weeks begin Oct. 6.

If passed, the measure will take effect on July 1, 2026.

Whats New—Trump Administration DOJ: The Trump administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a motion in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals to vacate a prior conviction for possession of a large-capacity magazine,” arguing the DC ban violates the Second Amendment; State Legislatures: California: Three bills moving towards final passage; Illinois: Gov. J.B. Pritzker signs SB8; North Carolina: The veto override vote of SB50 is scheduled for the House floor on Sept. 22.

Trump Administration DOJ

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a motion in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals to vacate a prior conviction for possession of a “large-capacity magazine,” arguing the DC ban violates the Second Amendment. Jeanine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, submitted this motion, which requests that the conviction of Tyrie Benson under DC’s large-capacity magazine ban (DC Code 7-2506.01) be overturned. The motion openly states the DOJ now considers the law unconstitutional and will no longer prosecute violations of the statute.

Case Background

Tyrie Benson was charged in November 2022 with several offenses, including carrying an unlicensed pistol, possessing a large-capacity ammunition feeding device, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition. After a bench trial before Judge Lynn Liebovitz in April 2023, Benson was convicted on all counts. Benson appealed, arguing that the large-capacity magazine ban violated his Second Amendment rights. Initially, the Biden administration opposed this argument and defended the conviction, but the case remained undecided.

DOJ’s Motion and Rationale

The Trump DOJ’s reversal is articulated in the motion, which states that a complete ban on large-capacity magazines cannot survive constitutional scrutiny in light of Second Amendment protections. The government asserts that such magazines are fundamental to armed self-defense and, by extension, qualify as “arms” under the Second Amendment. The motion further notes that bans analogous to those struck down in District of Columbia v. Heller—which prohibited entire categories of firearms—are similarly unconstitutional if they target items in common use. The DOJ acknowledges that tens of millions of such magazines exist in the United States, making it impossible for the government to prove they are “dangerous and unusual,” the test set forth in Heller for regulating arms.

Legal and Policy Implications

This shift by the DOJ is an indication that the Trump administration is “cleaning up” anti-Second Amendment policies, likely signaling a new approach in other cases, including those pending before federal appellate courts. The government’s stance means it will not prosecute anyone under the DC large-capacity magazine law moving forward. Mark W. Smith suggests this precedent could influence the outcome of similar cases nationwide, such as those in the Seventh Circuit or potentially at the Supreme Court should certiorari be granted.

State Legislature

The following states are still in SESSION:

California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin

California: On Sept. 9:  AB 1078 passed the Senate concurring with the Assembly amendments with all Republicans voting NO: AB 1127, amended in the Senate and awaiting third reading: and AB 1263, passed in the Senate and ordered to the Assembly.

Illinois: Earlier this month, Governor JB Pritzker signed SB8 into law, which mandates new mandatory firearm storage requirements for all gun owners. The legislation requires individuals to securely store all firearms in their homes, vehicles, buildings, or other structures. Previously, firearms were required to be stored to prevent children under the age of 14 from accessing them. SB8 raises this threshold to 18 and adds that prohibited persons and individuals deemed “at risk” must be prohibited from accessing any firearms.

Critics argue that this legislation unfairly punishes responsible gun owners by imposing broad and burdensome storage mandates. They point out that SB8 does little to address criminal misuse of firearms. Furthermore, law-abiding citizens face civil fines of up to $10,000 simply for how they store their personal property within their homes or vehicles.

North Carolina: The veto override vote of SB50 is scheduled for the House floor on Sept. 22.

Rusty Shackleford

I’m going to put it bluntly.

They thought they wanted this. They thought they could keep pushing and they would break us. They thought they had the upper hand.

They pushed too far and they have taken us to the point of no return.

Now, they are realizing they didn’t want this. They are realizing we wont be broken. They are realizing they don’t have the upper hand.

The ball has been returned to our court, and we’re better at the game than they are. The game that they wrote the rules for.

So good luck ever getting the ball back again.

We’re done playing fair.

Welcome to the new version of the game.

Our game.

Watching all the cable snews programs, I’ve noticed that the demoncrap talking heads are suddenly all so conciliatory and calling for calm & peaceful contemplation as they decry Kirk’s assassination.

It only took me a minute or two to figure it out. And it was confirmed when one of them actually said he was scared.  Well, they are scared. 

They’re scared that the conservatives will finally get the cluebat and realize that it’s not hyperbole that the left sees anyone disagreeing with them as more than just political opposition and actual enemies (Hitler/Nazi/Fascist right a bell?) and to mix metaphors; we are like a light switch, with when it’s flipped to “on”, we’ll raise the black flag and when we begin cutting throats, we won’t stop.
