In the January 2026 Suppressor Policy Update, ASA President Knox Williams highlights a historic turning point for law-abiding gun owners across the United States.
After 91 years, the unconstitutional federal transfer tax on suppressors is finally gone.
As of January 1, 2026, the National Firearms Act tax on suppressors — along with short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs — has officially been eliminated, ending a decades-long penalty on Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights and protecting their hearing.
This month's Suppressor Policy Update also highlights emerging state-level threats, including a proposed $500 suppressor tax in Virginia.
