The 91-year-old legislation on suppressors was originally enacted to combat gang violence during Prohibition. During his first term, Trump lifted a 20-year ban on selling suppressors to non-U.S. citizens, which was implemented in 2002 to prevent them from reaching terror groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to review federal gun policies, potentially reversing Biden-era reforms. These included stricter background checks for buyers under 21, funding for \u2018red flag\u2019 laws, and closing the \u2018boyfriend loophole\u2019 to prevent domestic abusers from owning firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gun rights advocates argue suppressors protect shooters\u2019 hearing and reduce recoil. The Hearing Protection Act, led by Rep. Ben Cline and Sen. Mike Crapo, seeks to ease suppressor regulations. Currently, buyers must obtain a special license and pay a $200 tax under the National Firearms Act of 1934.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics argue suppressors aren\u2019t necessary and could increase crime. If repealed, buyers could purchase them with a standard background check, bypassing lengthy application processes and extra costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump may soon repeal a nearly century-old firearms law, sparking intense debate.
