We stand at a pivotal moment to challenge the unconstitutional restrictions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) concerning suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns.
Two critical bills—the Hearing Protection Act (H.R. 404) and the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today (SHORT) Act (H.R. 2395)—must be included in an upcoming budget reconciliation omnibus bill. These bills will eliminate outdated $200 tax stamps and burdensome regulations for items in common use, restoring our Second Amendment rights.

The House Committee on Rules and the House Committee on Budget will hold a hearing on this reconciliation package at 1:00 A.M. on 21 May 2025—an unusual hour that raises concerns about transparency. We cannot let this opportunity slip through our grasp.
Please take five minutes today to contact:
- Honorable Jodey C. Arrington, Chairman of the House Committee on Budget, at (202) 226-7270
- Honorable Virginia Foxx, Chairman of the House Committee on Rules, at (202) 225-2071
Urge them to include H.R. 404 and H.R. 2395 in the reconciliation package. Your voice matters.
This is a rare chance to dismantle antiquated NFA restrictions, but it requires immediate action. Apathy will preserve the status quo—let’s stand united and act now.
