Hidden deep in the Republican tax bill is a $1.4B gift to the NRA: a repeal of the 90-year-old tax on gun silencers. Just 12 lines in a 400-page bill. A huge win for gun lobbyists and a dangerous loss for public safety. They buried it for a reason.
US Republican budget proposal has removal of gun silencer tax in its sights
U.S. Republican tax writers pushing through President Donald Trump's signature tax cut priorities proposed to eliminate a customer tax on firearm silencers, a tax potentially undoing the almost 100-year-old tax.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
