Gun rights activists saw one of their most significant legislative victories in recent years, after the U.S. House of Representatives passed federal budget legislation that included a last-minute amendment repealing the regulation of firearm suppressors under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
The amendment, authored by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA-09), was included via the House rules committee in a late-night procedure before the legislation was finally passed by the full chamber by a single vote, 215 to 214.
