Following testimony from ASA’s Executive Director, Virginia House Bill 207 — the bill imposing an egregious $500 tax on suppressors— the Virginia House Finance Committee voted unanimously to table the bill!
Now, we celebrate with you all. This is the power of the 2A community when we come together!
Suppressors are hearing protection devices—plain and simple.
When people can’t afford basic hearing protection while hunting or shooting, they’re set up for far more expensive medical costs from hearing loss later in life.
Unconstitutional taxes on these items don’t just violate 2A rights; they disproportionately harm lower-income and working-class Americans who can’t afford an inflated suppressor tax.
