One part of DNC Virginia’s plan to remake the state in a Progmerican image has failed before it ever reached a floor vote in the Virginia General Assembly. A bill that would have added a $500 gun suppressor tax failed in the subcommittee unanimously. This doesn’t mean the DNC won’t reintroduce the bill later, but, for now, they have retreat, to the good of the American people behind DNC enemy lines in Insurrectionist Virginia.
Virginia Lawmakers Unanimously Block $500 Suppressor Tax in Finance Subcommittee Vote – usacarry.com
RICHMOND, VA. — A controversial proposal that would have imposed a $500 excise tax on firearm suppressors in Virginia has been unanimously tabled by a House Finance Subcommittee during the 2026 Regular Session of the Virginia General Assembly.
House Bill 207, introduced by Delegate Karen Keys-Gamarra, sought to create a new chapter in Title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia establishing a firearm suppressor tax. The measure would have imposed a $500 tax per retail sale of any firearm suppressor by a firearms dealer, effective July 1, 2026. Revenue collected from the tax would have been directed to the state’s general fund.
According to the Virginia Legislative Information System, HB207 was referred to the House Committee on Finance and assigned to Finance Subcommittee No. 2. On February 10, 2026, the subcommittee voted 10 to 0 to lay the bill on the table, effectively halting its progress for the session. The bill remains listed as “In Committee” following the unanimous recommendation to table.
