BREAKING: After Vegas, Republicans Make Decision On Gun Suppressor Bill by: Susan Ferrechio 10/03/2017 Source: Washington Examiner
House Republican leaders Tuesday distanced themselves from legislation that would lift taxes and regulations on gun suppressors and expand access to hunting and sports shooting, two days after the largest mass shooting in U.S. history happened in Las Vegas.
The measure cleared a House committee last month and was on deck for possible consideration, but Republicans have not scheduled a vote on the so-called suppressor legislation. The future of the legislation is now uncertain.
"That bill is not scheduled now," House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Tuesday after meeting with GOP lawmakers in a closed-door meeting. "I don't know when it's going to be scheduled."
Ryan said the GOP is focused on tax reform.
