Why the NFA Violates Our Rights
For almost 100 years, the National Firearms Act has attacked Americans’ constitutional freedoms. This Depression-era law creates serious problems that hurt law-abiding gun owners:
The NFA’s Major Problems:
Federal Government Overreach: Washington controls gun sales within states, going far beyond their constitutional authority
No Historical Foundation: The Supreme Court’s recent Bruen decision says gun laws must be rooted in American history. The NFA fails this test completely
Unfair Government Process: Bureaucrats make arbitrary rules about guns without giving citizens fair treatment under the law
Only For The Wealthy: Expensive taxes and fees mean only wealthy Americans can afford their constitutional rights
As Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, I’m proud to announce that RMGO has signed the National Association for Gun Rights’ open letter to House Republicans. This letter demands Congress immediately repeal the National Firearms Act through budget reconciliation. As of today, the bill is in the Senate where the task of dismantling the NFA is now in their court.
A Rare Opportunity to Win Big
Budget reconciliation gives us our best shot in decades to restore our constitutional rights. This process lets Congress pass laws with just a simple majority vote, avoiding the usual 60-vote hurdle in the Senate.
Why This Matters Right Now:
- Anti-gun politicians can’t use their usual blocking tactics
- Recent elections show Americans want their constitutional rights restored
- The Supreme Court’s Bruen decision backs up our legal arguments
This Can’t Wait
This opportunity might not come again for years. Everything has lined up perfectly – the political situation, the procedural rules, and constitutional momentum – to eliminate the NFA completely.
If we don’t act now, we’re letting down future generations of Americans. We can’t allow government bureaucrats to keep violating the Constitution.
The Second Amendment doesn’t have exceptions or fine print. Our job is defending constitutional principles through strong, principled advocacy until these unconstitutional restrictions are completely eliminated.
