The Department of Justice (DOJ) has significantly cut funding for 'gun violence prevention' programs, reducing federal support by nearly 50% for the 2025 fiscal year. This move, initiated under the Trump administration, targets programs heavily promoted during the 'defund the police' era, which the DOJ states no longer align with its priorities.

Senator Chris Murphy has proposed increasing the NFA tax stamp to nearly $5,000, aiming to reverse the recent reduction to zero dollars for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and other NFA items. Gun Owners of America (GOA) and its allies are actively opposing this amendment, which is attached to a military construction and veteran affairs funding bill, arguing it violates Senate rules on germaneness. This move is seen as a tactic to price civilians out of firearms and equipment protected by the Second Amendment, a strategy GOA has fought against for decades through various legislative proposals.
