Here’s chat’s take:
Finally, Freedom: The Silencer Tax Is Going Silent
In a bold move to protect the most vulnerable among us—those whose trigger fingers are just too sensitive for noisy gunfire—Congress has proposed ending the tyrannical $200 tax on gun silencers, a burden the American people have somehow managed to shoulder since 1934. That’s right: no longer will citizens have to pay a premium just to make their firearms whisper sweet nothings in the woods.
This isn’t about guns, safety, or even the budget. This is about liberty—specifically, the liberty to accessorize your AR-15 like it’s a Barbie doll and you’re an overenthusiastic six-year-old with a credit card. After all, in a country where hearing aids aren’t covered by Medicare, shouldn’t we at least let bullets speak at a more polite volume?
Critics may ask why silencers, devices once regulated under the same law as machine guns and sawed-off shotguns, need a tax break in 2025. But the answer is simple: priorities. Roads are overrated. Schools are loud. And climate change is probably just the sound of wind whining because it doesn’t have a suppressor.
Let’s be honest—who among us hasn’t been out hunting at dawn, disturbed not by the bloodsport, but by the sheer rudeness of a bang? The $200 tax has stood for nearly a century, stifling innovation in passive-aggressive homicide. It’s time to make murder… discreet again.
So here’s to the brave lawmakers willing to finally stand up for gun silencers—because if there’s anything this country desperately needs, it’s quieter shootings.
