Congress cowers while the ATF attacks—and gun owners aren’t staying silent any longer.

Last month, Rep. Andrew Clyde led a letter urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to cease her plans to unlawfully and unconstitutionally register suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and AOWs under the guise of a $0 NFA “tax” on January 1st, 2026.
Only 5 Senators and 37 House Representatives had the courage to stand up for our Second Amendment rights and sign the Clyde letter. The rest of our elected representatives in Congress were cowards.
They stayed silent while the ATF:
❌ Unlawfully forced the registration of firearms despite the repeal of the NFA tax to $0
❌ Fights law-abiding Americans in court
❌ Treats gun owners like criminals for exercising a constitutional right
That betrayal hasn’t stopped. It’s getting worse.
President Trump requested a $400 million cut to the ATF, recognizing what gun owners already know: This agency is dangerous, unaccountable, and out of control.
But Republican leadership slashed that to a pathetic $40 million cut, leaving the ATF almost fully funded at Biden-era levels — even as Attorney General Bondi continues to enforce the unconstitutional suppressor and short-barreled firearm registration scheme.
Let that sink in.
Congress is protecting the ATF while the ATF is attacking YOU!
Gun Owners of America is making sure Congress hears exactly how gun owners feel about this issue.
We’re asking our members to send letters to Congress thanking those who had the backbone to stand up for the Second Amendment and making it crystal clear to those who turned their backs on gun owners that we are furious, and we won’t forget it.
If your Representative signed on to Rep. Clyde’s letter, thank them for supporting this pro-gun measure. If your member failed to join Rep. Clyde and the 41 others, let them know they risk losing your vote unless they defend our Second Amendment rights.
Send a letter to your member today.
