they were trying to remove suppressors remember? Apparently it couldn't be done in the budget bill. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate...ilencer-short-barrel-rifle-fees-gop-megabill/Why do you think congress didn’t just get rid of the NFA altogether?
Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on Friday ruled against a section of the bill that removes regulations pertaining to gun silencers and easily concealable firearms under the National Firearms Act.
She said the provision, which would have eliminated enhanced background checks for individuals who purchase suppressors, violated the Byrd Rule, which governs what legislation is eligible to pass the Senate with a simple-majority vote.
