AP NewsBy MARY CLARE JALONICKJune 23, 2025The massive tax and spending cuts package that President Donald Trump wants on his desk by July 4 would loosen regulations on gun silencers and certain types of rifles and shotguns, advancing a longtime priority of the gun industry as Republican leaders in the House and Senate try to win enough votes to pass the bill.The guns provision was first requested in the House by Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Republican gun store owner who had initially opposed the larger tax package. The House bill would remove silencers — called “suppressors” by the gun industry — from a 1930s law that regulates firearms that are considered the most dangerous, eliminating a $200 tax while removing a layer of background checks.
Do you believe this S--t!

The U.S. has by far the highest number and rate of mass shootings among developed nations. For example, between 1998 and 2019, 73% of mass shootings in developed countries occurred in the U.S., resulting in 816 deaths (N-IUSSP)While there is no standardized global definition for "mass shooting," U.S. rates per capita are much higher than in other developed countries. For example, Louisiana had about 4.3 mass shootings per 100,000 people from 2014–2022, and Washington, D.C. had 10.4 per 100,000, but these are city/state rates, not global. No other developed country comes close to these figures. (NBC News)
And don't forget that the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6–3 decision in Garland v. Cargill, struck down the federal ban on bump stocks. Bump stock was used in the mowing down of concert goes in Las Vegas.
This is all about the Republicans playing to their MAGA base and not the voters. They don't care who gets killed as long as they get the votes.
