Dear John,
Thanks to the tireless leadership of Congressman Andrew Clyde, the NFA tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and other NFA items will drop to $0 next year. In the NFA’s 91-year history, no one else has taken this big of a step to repeal the tax.
Clyde was the driving force behind this, one of the greatest Second Amendment victories in nearly a century. It’s a devastating blow against the ATF’s war on your gun rights.
It all started on January 19th, when Rep. Clyde sat before the House Ways and Means Committee on “Member Day.” His bold pitch? Completely eliminate the unconstitutional NFA tax on suppressors and short-barreled firearms.
Some weak-kneed Republicans wanted to settle for a $5 tax. Clyde refused.
Citing Chief Justice John Marshall’s 1819 warning that “the power to tax involves the power to destroy,” Clyde fought tooth and nail — in the Budget Committee, the Rules Committee, and even on the House floor at 4:00 AM — to permanently repeal this abusive tax.
This historic win will save gun owners more than $140 million a year in government extortion fees — and it lays the groundwork to dismantle NFA registration entirely.
JUST YESTERDAY, Clyde took the fight even further.
Congressman Clyde and 30 House Republicans sent a letter urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to disavow the National Firearms Act of 1934 as unconstitutional.
Gun Owners of America is already suing now that Congress has set the so-called “tax” to $0 and the Justice Department’s reply to our lawsuit is due by November 13th.
But while this monumental victory is worth celebrating, the fight isn’t over. Andrew Clyde is now under attack.
I hope you will go here right now and chip in just $25, or whatever you feel you can afford right now, to help Andrew Clyde continue to be a pro-gun fighter in the House of Representatives.
Two establishment-backed, anti-gun Republicans have jumped into the race, fueled by more than $500,000 from deep-pocketed donors who want to unseat him. These RINOs won’t fight for your gun rights — they’ll sell them out.
