[Urgent Action Needed]



<[link removed]>

 



John,


We have the biggest opportunity in history to save the Second Amendment – and
we cannot waste it.


So, before the Attorney General’s report on pro-2A executive actions is due in
16 days, we’re running a series of grassroots campaigns to give the White House
a comprehensive plan –directly from gun-owning Americans – to restore our gun
rights.



Today is the third part of our campaign, which encourages the President to use
the law to move gun rights in the direction of freedom, and to accomplish these
things by taking actions that he can do (under existing law)without Congress.



1) Take an axe to the NFA:


The NFA is unconstitutional. Period. It needs to be fully REPEALED by
Congress. But there are also things we can do to slash it in the meantime while
we continue to support legislation for Congress to fully repeal it.

President Trump can modernize and streamline the NFA, by making it as close to
an instant background check as possible, by issuing tax stamps at the point of
sale.

There’s no reason that buying a suppressor, SBR, or a machine gun should take
more than a few minutes to clear a background check. Imagine if you could just
walk into a gun store to buy a suppressor and walk out with a freshly printed
tax stamp!

While the President needs Congress to repeal the NFA, he can accomplish this
BY HIMSELF without any act of Congress.

Additionally, owning a machine gun absolutely is protected by the Second
Amendment. And the Supreme Court’sBruen decision clearly reaffirmed it.

The President can take concrete action without Congress to restore your right
to own a machine gun. Under federal code, the U.S. government can declare a
machine gun amnesty – as was done in 1968. The President must declare another
amnesty in 2025, allowing gun owners to possess post-1986 machine guns.

Enabling thousands (potentially millions) of gun owners to own post-1986
machine guns would create a powerful constituency that will demand the repeal
of the NFA.


2) Exempt MILLIONS of gun buyers from FBI background checks (thus averting the
hassle of mistaken gun purchase denials)


Our goal is to repeal all NICS checks and move every single state away from
“permit carry” to “Constitutional Carry.” The Constitution is clear: your
“right to keep and bear armsshall not be infringed.” A background check and a
permit are undeniably infringements.

Until then, the President can take bold executive action to keep the names of
countless gun buyers out of the FBI’s background check system and protect them
from being hassled by mistaken NICS denials.

The President can use current law to exempt concealed carry permit holders in
certain states from the NICS background checks when purchasing firearms –again,
acting without Congress.


Gun owners are sick of waiting on Congress to take action to restore our
rights all while anti-gunners have no problem abusing the executive branch to
issueunconstitutional orders.


That needs to change right now. There are constitutional ways the President
can take executive action to revive the Second Amendment. But we need YOUR help
getting these items to his desk and to ensure they make it into his final
executive action.


Please add your name to our pre-written letter urging President Trump to take
the above executive actions to restore gun rights that can be done WITHOUT
Congress. <[link removed]>
