[ [link removed] ]Deregulating these weapons puts all of us at risk
John-

A few weeks ago, the House passed Trump's so-called "One Big Beautiful
Bill"—a budget reconciliation bill that has moved on to the Senate—and
buried in the fine print was a massive giveaway to the gun lobby: a
provision that completely deregulates firearm silencers, also known as
suppressors. These devices muffle the sound of gunfire, making it harder
for law enforcement and bystanders to identify where shots are coming
from.

And now, Senate Republicans have taken it a step further and added
language into the bill that would also deregulate short-barreled rifles
and shotguns like those used in mass shootings and high profile crimes, as
well as other weapons disguised as other objects—like umbrella guns and
cane guns. If the Senate passes this bill, it would make it easier than
ever to to get these dangerous and deadly weapons. It's outrageous. And it
only benefits the gun industry's profits.

As new threats emerge—such as the push to deregulate these weapons—[ [link removed] ]your
support ensures we're prepared to respond, inform, and organize. Everytown
is committed to opposing dangerous policies that put lives at risk,
advancing life-saving gun safety legislation, and electing Gun Sense
Candidates who prioritize public safety over gun industry profits.

Silencers, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and other easily concealed
firearms have been heavily regulated for nearly a century under the
National Firearms Act of 1934. But now, House Republicans are gutting
those protections—eliminating registration requirements, background
checks, and even the $200 tax added to the purchase of these items.

Removing silencers and other firearms from the NFA would:

* Make the public less safe while making it more difficult for law
enforcement to investigate and solve crimes.
* Make it even easier for the gun industry to market, sell, and profit
off weapons that have long been considered too dangerous for civilian
ownership and that have, time and again, endangered communities across
the U.S.

Let's be clear: We've already seen the deadly consequences of these
firearms. Silencers were used in the mass shootings committed in Monterey
Park and Virginia Beach. Short-barreled rifles were used in the Dayton,
Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Nashville mass shootings. And the
perpetrators of the Santa Fe and Columbine shootings had short-barreled
shotguns.

We can't let them win. Not now. Not ever.
