Key Points:



- The sweeping domestic policy bill eliminates the tax for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns, but concerns arise about potential future increases in these taxes.

- The parliamentarian's decision to remove the deregulation of NFA firearms under the Byrd rule is debated, with the hosts arguing it should have been allowed due to its revenue impact.

- Streamlight is suing Harbor Freight over a design trademark involving an exposed aluminum ring on flashlight heads, highlighting the complexities of design marks and potential implications for product design.
