Over 40 members of Congress, led by Congressman Andrew Clyde, have formally warned the DOJ and ATF against defending the National Firearms Act (NFA). The lawmakers argue that recent legislation, specifically the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' (OBBBA), effectively repealed NFA registration requirements by zeroing out associated excise taxes. Gun Owners of America (GOA) is actively litigating this position, contending that the NFA's taxing power is its sole constitutional basis, and without the tax, the registration mandate becomes an unconstitutional federal gun registry.
