There is finally something a person should stop carrying faster than USCCA insurance.

A lot of "everyday" people have a lot of money tied up in the platform Firearm, mags, holsters, etc...). A platform that they may no longer feel safe to carry/use or want to but that does not have any value compared to what one should expect it to carry on the open market due to a design flaw that appears may have been ignored and covered up. Now, no one cares about us but there are a lot of large institutions in the same spot.

Received this in an email from Gunsite this evening.

For $200 you can. DDs and DD did not have the tax lowered to $0.00

I believe it makes the tax zero dollars on the making (form 1) and the transfer (form 4) of Suppressors, Short barrel rifles and shotguns, and AOWs starting January 1st 2026.

We see this BS in our own state as well. The Republican leadership here is giving it to us so hard that I'm sure the Democrats are jealous.

I've called Senator John Thune's office as well as our TN Senators as well as the senators from another state I have property in to express my disgust. Will it do any good? Well, not calling sure won't. Remind Ms. Blackburn she wants to be our next governor (God help us) and we are sick of this BS federally & at the state level and are watching.

H.R. 1: One Big Beautiful Bill Act passes 215 to 214 with two Republicans voting against it, one Republican voting Present and two Republicans not voting. It includes the full version of the Hearing Protection Act but not the SHORT act. It is now off to the Senate so now we have to let them know we want this passed with the full version of the Hearing Protection Act, as well. Also, remember that Rep. David Kustoff was not only not our friend on this but he moved against us hard by trying to strip the Hearing Protection Act out of this early on.

I started a new post on this as tonight is it, from the way it looks. I know that none of us are holding our breath but we have a chance and who knows if we'll ever get another one. We've got Trump and we need to make some noise and make them uncomfortable just like he does. Take a few minutes and make a couple calls. It takes less time than voting. I realize you probably feel beat to hell, I know I do, but let them hear you. Below is info and a link to the GOA's short video on this. Tonight—before the 1AM Rules Committee markup—is the last chance to get both HPA & SHORT Act in the House version of the reconciliation bill! Taking action takes less than 60 seconds. Have you called yet?
