LET’S PASS THESE BILLS!

These two bills are marked up tomorrow, we need your help to pass them….

If you’re receiving this email, your Representative in Congress is on the House Judiciary Committee.

That means we’ve got an important request for you.

Tomorrow, the House Judiciary Committee will be voting on two bills that matter to your Second Amendment rights:

H.R. 2442, the Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act of 2025, and H.R. 9298, the Stopping Harmful and Outrageous Torts Act — the SHOT Act.

While both of these bills create much needed protections for gun owners, we’re asking for amendments to be added to H.R. 9298 to expand protections for non-profit businesses in the firearms industry.

We’re asking GOA members to please contact their member on the House Judiciary Committee and tell them to support H.R. 2442 and to adopt Gun Owners of America’s proposed amendments to H.R. 9298. 

PASS ONE, FIX THE OTHER!

H.R. 2442 would stop states from imposing excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, and parts—taxes designed to raise the cost of guns and ammo and price gun owners out of their rights.

It would also preempt backdoor suppressor bans like the one proposed in Virginia, where lawmakers wanted to tax suppressors at $500 after GOA repealed the NFA tax.

H.R. 9298 would strengthen the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, but as written it primarily protects for-profit businesses and trade associations like the NSSF.

With targeted changes, it could protect the entire industry, including nonprofit Second Amendment organizations (like GOA) and individuals engaged in lawful firearms commerce and advocacy.

Please contact the House Judiciary Committee and tell them to support H.R. 2442 and to adopt Gun Owners of America’s proposed amendments to H.R. 9298.
