Lauren Boebert is taking aim at one of the oldest federal gun control mechanisms still on the books: the National Firearms Act tax on machine guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Gun Owners of America is fully on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, Boebert introduced the \u201cFreedom from Taxes Act of 2026<\/a>,\u201d legislation designed to reduce the longstanding $200 NFA transfer tax on machine guns and destructive devices down to zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes during the 40th anniversary week of the infamous Hughes Amendment, the federal law that froze the civilian transferable machine gun registry<\/a> back in 1986 and permanently changed the full-auto market in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI support our president \u2014 his agenda. I'm not changing the way I vote, and I'm also standing with my friend.\u201d

Rep. Lauren Boebert discussed her support for Rep. Thomas Massie, calling him a \u201cprincipled constitutionalist.\u201d@edhenry<\/a> @laurenboebert<\/a> @RepBoebert<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ktvpgksFAt<\/a><\/p>— NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) May 18, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
