Congress needs to hear from you before it’s too late.

John,
GOA needs your immediate help getting 2A traitors in Congress to fall in line.
The House of Representatives will soon vote on a reconciliation bill, but the
current bill – as drafted by the House Ways and Means Committee – BETRAYS gun
owners.
The bill does NOT include the full Hearing Protection Act (H.R. 404) or the
SHORT Act (H.R. 2395) – two critical GOA-backed measures aimed at GUTTING the
unconstitutional National Firearms Act (NFA).
It also FAILS to remove the NFA registration requirement on suppressors,
choosing instead to merely lower the taxtransfer tax on suppressors. On top of
that, committee Republicans didn’t even lower the $200making tax on
suppressors. That’s half the tax!
Even a Democrat in the House was stunned by this GOP surrender!
And to add insult to injury, Ways and Means Committee Member David Kustoff
spit in the face of every gun owner by pretending that this bill is a “WIN” for
gun owners.
This isn’t even a “compromise.” It’s a complete and total SURRENDER.
But the fight is NOT over…
…The bill still has to clear two more committees before it’s ready for a full
floor vote in the House.
So, we’re recruiting our multimillion-member network of gun owners like YOU to
pressure Congress to include a FULL version of both the HPA and SHORT Act in
the final reconciliation bill.
John: this is the closest that we have ever come to removing ANYTHING from the
NFA, so your action is mission critical. And be ready – more calls and emails
will be needed in the days ahead!
Please add your name to our pre-written letter to your Representative telling
them that a reconciliation bill without both the full Hearing Protection Act
and the SHORT Act is UNACCEPTABLE.

The Hearing Protection Act is aimed at removing suppressors from the NFA so
that Americans no longer have to beg the federal government for permission just
to own a piece of safety equipment. Meanwhile, the SHORT Act would remove
short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and Any Other
Weapons (AOWs) from the NFA.
Under Joe Biden, the ATF abused these NFA categories by outlawing up to 40
million pistol-braced firearms, forcing Gun Owners of America to spend tens of
thousands of dollars in legal fees to get a court injunction against the ban.
It’s easy to imagine a future President Gavin Newsom doing what Biden already
did with SBRs – expanding NFA definitions to turn millions of lawful gun owners
into felons overnight.
We have the historic opportunity to stop this weaponization of the NFA.
And here’s why your action matters right now… under the rules of the House and
Senate, the reconciliation bill that we are fighting to amend can NOT be
filibustered in the Senate.
That means if Republicans in the House keep their promises and listen to their
constituents like YOU, the Senate cannot block it.
But to get there, backstabbing RINOs need to feel the wrath and fury of
fired-up gun owners like YOU.
So please don’t wait, add your name to our pre-written letter to your
Representative telling them that a reconciliation bill without both the full
Hearing Protection Act and the SHORT Act is UNACCEPTABLE.
