If you care about your Right to Keep and Bear arms as protected under the Second Amendment, you need to take a few moments to do this. Over the last few days, the House Ways and Means committee has been working on amendments to what is supposed to be a massive bill that is to be sent to the President. There is talk about getting silencers and short barrel firearms off of the NFA added to the bill.
You need to email and call your Congressional rep to push on this and get the Hearing Protection Act and SHORT Act off the NFA by getting the amendments to the bill. This is the time. This is your call to action to help get these infringements of the books.

Update: If I am hearing correctly, the HPA made it into the Big Bill and will be sent to the Senate or clearing up. There are two provisions. The first is a complete removal of suppressors from the NFA but there is a backup to reduce the tax from $200 to $0 in-case the Senate wants to play games with your rights. Again, you need to reach out to your Senators. I emailed and called my Congressman but in Georgia, our Senators are not the favorable-to-Rights sort of politicians in regards to this topic. It will fall on deaf ears. Even if you live in a Democrat state, you should call them even to remind them that you exist and you disagree with their prohibitive position.
Update 17 Jun 0700 AM: The Senate has returned the SHORT Act to the bill and are working to make whatever else changes they want. Once they are done, they will kick it back to the House for approval. If the House makes no more changes and keeps the SHORT Act, it will go to the President to sign. Again, please call your Senators to remind them to vote yes if you think that regulating via taxation barrel lengths is infringing on the "Shall Not Be Infringed" part of the Constitution.
