Summary

In This Hour:

-- We came THAT close to removing silencers and short barrel rifles from the National Firearms Act, but it didn't happen. What was really going on behind closed doors? Knox Williams, from the American Suppressor Association runs it down and gives his take on whether this was a win or a loss.

-- What's it mean that the $200 federal tax on suppressors and short barrel rifles is being removed? Will prices go up? Will supply increase? Will shorter barrels become the norm?

-- Tom talks about his friend Ray Oeltjen, who recently passed away, and explains what he learned about constant activism on the Second Amendment from a man who never gave up.
