As soon as Wednesday, the House will vote on President Trump’s tax bill which contains a dangerous provision to get rid of a tax on gun silencers. Gun lobby-backed lawmakers in Congress are trying to covertly push this provision for one reason: To make gun industry executives richer.
Friend, we cannot allow lawmakers to put Americans at risk so they can give the gun industry a tax break and flood our communities with silencers. I’m counting on activists to speak out NOW, before it’s too late. Add your name and urge lawmakers to oppose removing the silencer tax. [[link removed]]

Silencers make already deadly firearms even more terrifying, friend.
Silencers make mass shootings deadlier and make it harder for people to flee. When a gunman killed twelve people in Virginia Beach, VA, in 2019, he used a silencer and survivors nearby said they couldn’t make out the rapid gunfire, preventing them from fleeing from the heinous attack.
Silencers make it harder to stop a shooting and are used in targeted, assassination-style murders. And their prevalence is only growing: The amount of registered silencers increased by a staggering 84% in the last three years.
Despite the danger posed to the American people, President Trump is trying to remove the tax on gun silencers with a hidden provision in his tax bill. Removing this tax will make it easier for people to obtain these deadly accessories, skyrocketing the already increasing number of silencers in our communities and putting lives at risk.
We won’t stand for lawmakers trading American lives for gun industry profits, friend. I’m counting on grassroots activists to speak out before the House votes on Trump’s tax bill as soon as Wednesday. Please, add your name now to oppose removing the silencer tax and tell Congress: NO GUN INDUSTRY HANDOUT. [[link removed]]

Cutting the tax on silencers is a direct gift to gun industry executives – full stop.
Removing this tax will cost the country nearly $1.5 billion in tax revenue over the next decade , while Trump continues to make cuts to community violence intervention programs and Medicaid programs that support many gun violence survivors.
It’s not just about the economic cost, friend – lives are at risk and I’m counting on you to speak out before it’s too late.
I need your help to make it clear to lawmakers that we won’t accept gun lobby handouts in exchange for our lives. Please, friend, will you send a message to reject this deadly provision and put constituent’s lives over gun industry executive profits? [[link removed]]
