     rights under the 2nd Amendment without undue government 
     burden. Also, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 gives Congress 
     the right to lay and collect taxes.
       Single Subject Statement:
       This legislation amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to remove silencers from the definition of firearms.
