GOA just defeated a 100-year-old infringement on your Second Amendment rights.
Thank you, President Trump for signing the $0 NFA tax into law and for not appealing our legal victory Silencer Shop v. ATF.
🚨NFA UPDATE🚨
Read the full report from @CBSNews about President Trump’s personal decision NOT to appeal GOA’s victory in Silencer Shop v. ATF ⤵️
“President Trump ordered @TheJusticeDept not to appeal a court ruling that loosened restrictions on firearms known as ‘gangster weapons,’ sources familiar with the matter told @CBS News, a move that will let some Americans possess or sell short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and silencers with less government oversight. “@POTUS himself decided against appealing the ruling, several of the sources with knowledge of the matter said. Mr. Trump has also told some Republican members of Congress in a series of calls in recent weeks that he would ensure the Justice Department did not contest the decision, sources familiar with the discussions said. “Letting the lower court ruling stand runs counter to the recommendations of some career and politically appointed lawyers at the Justice Department across multiple offices who disagree with the court's opinion, several of the sources said, adding that they have warned it is already beginning to adversely impact federal firearms prosecutions across the country. “A Justice Department official said the department intends to tell Congress it will not appeal the ruling.
“A spokesperson with the Justice Department told CBS News that @ATFHQ ‘will issue guidance soon to implement the court's order.’
“The judge's decision came in two consolidated cases brought against the government by 15 red states and a number of Second Amendment gun rights groups and individuals, including the Gun Owners of America and the @GunFoundation.
“Although the ruling applies only to the parties to the lawsuit, any current or future members of the gun groups that sued over the rules are covered. An annual membership to the Gun Owners of America, for example, costs $25.
“Although the injunction only applies to the parties in the lawsuit, the judge said that it would also be applied to the plaintiff gun groups' members and customers, ‘both current and future.’
“His decision to cover ‘future’ customers and members of the gun rights groups who are a party to the lawsuit has already started to cause problems for federal prosecutors. In one criminal prosecution in the Middle District of Alabama, for example, the Justice Department earlier this month dismissed an indictment against a man named Cameron Silmon on a charge he knowingly received a silencer without a serial number, after his defense lawyer claimed his client had joined some of the gun rights groups after the Texas judge issued the injunction.
"’The 'Big Beautiful Bill' provision that quietly zeroed out the tax may ultimately do what no court, no Congress, and no administration has done in ninety years eliminate: the National Firearms Act, one of the primary American gun laws,’ said Jeffrey Cohen, former associate chief counsel at the ATF.”
A self-driving car saw a gun…
pulled itself over…
and called the cops on its own passengers.
Now, were the people inside probably up to no good?
Based on the story, yeah.
But that’s not the part that bothers me.
The part that bothers me is this:
Waymo said it detected a violation of its terms of service involving a firearm.
Terms of service.
Not a gun law.
Not a judge.
A company policy.
So what happens when a legal gun owner gets in?
What happens if the camera sees an open carry gun?
Does the car pull over?
Does it lock the doors?
Does it call police?
Because once “liability” becomes the excuse, your rights don’t have to be banned directly.
They can just become impossible to use inside the systems you depend on.
Be honest:
Would you get into a self-driving car if you knew it could call police because it saw your gun?
A year ago, a radical act of violence against a voice for truth and liberty shocked millions. The response revealed a dangerous divide. #AmericanSpirit#Liberty#Movement

34 years ago at Ruby Ridge, children sat through a siege while their mother’s body lay on the kitchen floor and their brother's lay outside.
That’s gun control. That's the NFA.
Simply put: It’s far past time to end the madness.
End the NFA
On this day 34 years ago, the Siege at Ruby Ridge began when federal agents scouting the property of Randy Weaver killed Randy’s son and the family dog during the initial confrontation.
NFA enforcement was the "justification" for what happened that August.
And the horrific actions of government agents over the following days, and many other stories, are why cases like the FPC-backed Jensen v. ATF are so important, and why we must get SCOTUS to agree that the NFA is unconstitutional.
The abuses of the NFA must end. The rights and lives of millions depend on it.
Imagine killing a mother holding her child from about 200 yards away.
Jackboots enforcing the NFA can, and did, 34 years ago today.
That’s right: there's no gun law that they won't kill you for, and why we must end the NFA.
34 years ago today, federal agents used the NFA as an excuse to target Randy Weaver. Those agents killed his wife, his son, and his dog with no consequence.
Every year, we remember what happened on August 21, 1992, at Ruby Ridge.
We remember. We fight on.
@MeyekOnRoute66@KaceeRAllen Bit of advice. Make sure to drive, but no license plates to the location or at least somewhere where you know, there's no cameras. Remove the plates, then drive closer. Cover head to toe in nondescript, black clothing. circle saw as fastest a sawzall is great
The biggest change to silencer laws in 90+ years.
Starting tomorrow, August 13 at 12:01 AM, silencers and AOWs gotten through Silencer Shop can transfer with no Form 4, no federal registration, and no wait.
What you need to know:
Applies in the 27 states with no state-level NFA laws. 15 states still require a Form 4.
The silencer must come from Silencer Shop or a Powered By Silencer Shop dealer.
SBRs and SBSs are not included. The 1968 Gun Control Act still requires ATF approval, so a Form 4 is still required. The tax is gone, but the paperwork isn’t.
The government can still appeal, so we'll keep you posted if anything changes.
Thank you to our partners in this fight: @silencershopfnd@GunOwners@palmettoarmory@silencerco@btusallc@FRACAction@2AFDN and YOU. We sued the ATF. We won. And we’re not done fighting for you.
