Gun Control 2026? GOA Reveals the Federal Agenda

This video features an expert discussion from CRPA TV, with insights from Gun Owners of America (GOA), regarding potential increases to the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax.

The ATF's pistol brace rule has been vacated nationwide, leading to the dismissal of most related lawsuits. However, the DOJ continues to assert its underlying legal theory that braced pistols can still be classified as Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) under the NFA, based on statutory text alone.

Concurrently, a White House budget proposal signals a potential policy shift away from aggressive firearms regulations, creating a tension between legal authority and political direction.

This video from Gun Owners of America (GOA) discusses the ongoing enforcement of pistol brace regulations by the Department of Justice (DOJ), despite a previous court vacating the rule.

This creates confusion and potential felony charges for millions of gun owners.
