WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) announced their support of three pieces of legislation to protect abuses of the National Firearms Act of 1934 by the Biden Administration – S. 803, H.R. 4312, and H.R. 6817.
“Pro-gun Members of Congress must do everything possible to block the Biden administration from weaponizing the NFA to ban roughly 40 million lawfully acquired pistols,” said Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs.
“Thanks to U.S. Senator Roger Marshall and U.S. Representatives Jeff Duncan and Chip Roy, these three crucial pieces of legislation will be an important step towards achieving our no-compromise goal of repealing the NFA,” he continued.
- S. 803, the Home Defense and Competitive Shooting Act, was introduced by U.S. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) and would remove short-barreled rifles (SBRs) from the NFA and eliminate the prohibition of the transportation of SBRs in interstate commerce.
- H.R. 4312, the No Frivolous Applications for Short Barreled Shotguns (NFA SBS) Act, was introduced by U.S. Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC) and would apply this to short-barreled shotguns (SBSs).
- H.R. 6817, the No Backdoor Gun Control Act, was introduced by U.S. Representative Chip Roy and would repeal the Any Other Weapon (AOW) catch-all term.
Together, these bills constitute GOA’s Second Amendment Rescue Plan. These three GOA-backed bills would:
- Gut the NFA;
- Stop the registration, taxation, and regulation of SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs; and
- Undermine the legal impetus for Biden’s proposed pistol ban.
All three pieces of legislation and GOA’s full Second Amendment Rescue Plan can be found on GOA’s website.
This is all theater to have something to say to their their hardcore R constituents “see, we tried”.
They all know damn well this won’t pass and even if it did, there is no way in hell Brandon would sign it.
Will never leave committee level with Pelosi and Schumer in charge….Republicans tried to pass suppressor reform once but RINO Paul Ryan killed that too🙄
If only they would pass. And while they are at it, can you please remove suppressors from the act? Its ridiculous we are regulating safety equipment ownership.
It’s a nice thought but DOA. Should Reuplicans ever hold the House, Senate and Presidency at the same time again, let’s try again.
This is theater. The bill sponsors know it would never pass because of Dem control of the legislature. I’ll believe that they really mean it if they push it through once the House and Senate are R again.
I agree it’s a nice though BUT The Republicans have held all of them multiple times in recent history and have done nothing, not a dimes worth of difference between any of them Rep or Dem one just does a better job of acting like they care vs openly opposing the constitution.
A very good start. The NFA and gun control act of 1968 should be removed entirely.
