John, I recently left a meeting with Sen. Steve Daines, and he told GOA this exciting news first…

He’s made sure that the Senate version of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” removes the exise taxes on:

✅ Suppressors 
✅ Short-barreled rifles 
✅ Short-barreled shotguns 
✅ Any Other Weapons (AOWs) 

This is a HUGE step in GOA’s fight to restore your Second Amendment rights and strikes a major blow to the draconian NFA! But as you know, the job is not finished yet.

Last month, the House took action and included language in H.R. 1, which removed the unlawful $200 tax stamp and suppressor registration requirement—although unfortunately, they will still be subject to NICS background checks.   

Regardless, while this is a great first step, it’s not enough. We need to remove the NFA taxes on short-barreled firearms, too.

And that’s why GOA has been fighting hard to get the Senate to fully repeal these NFA taxes, as well.

Can we count on your support? Please chip in $15, $25, $50, or any other amount you can support. GOA is on Capitol Hill fighting to protect OUR rights. This might be one of our last opportunities to repeal this provision. 

We can’t forget — the Biden administration abused this tax to justify its unconstitutional pistol brace rule, targeting up to 40 million legally owned firearms and criminalizing gun owners overnight. 

Senate Republicans now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to end this abuse permanently. Including the tax repeal on short-barreled firearms in the budget reconciliation bill would fulfill campaign promises and strike a blow against one of the most sweeping anti-gun infringements. 

John, this is our moment. We can gut the NFA. We can secure lasting protections for gun owners nationwide. But it won’t happen without your pressure. 

Don’t wait, John. Time is of the essence. 

In liberty, 

Erich Pratt  
Senior Vice President  
Gun Owners of America  

P.S. - Please take a moment to add your name to our urgent petition urging Senators to repeal the NFA’s short-barrel tax restrictions, to protect suppressor owners once and for all.
