I have an open statement to @TPUSA that I would like you guys to help me get to them through sharing and reposting & tagging anyone who can help:
To @TPUSA:
I have been both touched by the love and unification that has been occurring in our Nation in the wake of the Nation's loss while at the same time horrified by the celebration and evil that has been exposed and laid bare for the world to see. I want to help @TPUSA guide and shepherd the new 54,000 chapters and all the young people that represents into the movement to save our country. I will commit aid through my YouTube channel (almost 700k people & 5 Million views a month), organization, speaking engagements, travel, etc. I have no idea if this reaches the right people, but I sure hope it somehow makes it there. I hope we can connect soon.
@glennbeck, if you can help pass this along I'd be grateful.
Listen to @Rep_Clyde SLAM the Parliamentarian’s unprofessional, partisan, & anti-gun decision to strike NFA excise tax repeal from H.R. 1 under the Byrd Rule.
The House should send this back & make the Senate do it right! 🇺🇸
@LeaderJohnThune Put back in the FULL HPA and SHORT act the whole thing is a tax!! 0$ tax plus no registration!!!! Over rule the parliamentarian and fire her!! If you won’t do @VP needs to step in and do it!
I certainly understand the frustration surrounding the 2A provisions.
I’ve been fighting for MONTHS to secure the elimination of both NFA taxation AND registration for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs.
I successfully added this measure for suppressors in the House-passed budget reconciliation bill, and I’ve worked with Senate Republicans to not only keep this provision but to also expand it to cover short-barreled firearms.
All of it was written into the Senate’s first version. But the unelected Senate parliamentarian struck it down, erroneously claiming it violated the Byrd Rule.
I vehemently disagree with her.
In fact, many of her rulings prove she’s a partisan hack incapable of making non-partisan decisions. To be clear, I believe the Senate parliamentarian deserves to be FIRED immediately.
But apparently the Senate is not going to fire her or overrule her decision at this time.
Therefore, we have to use the opportunity to rewrite the 2A provision in an attempt to get as much past the Senate parliamentarian as possible.
The latest version eliminates all the NFA taxation on suppressors and short-barreled firearms.
Of course I also want the NFA registration eliminated, as it is inseparably linked to the tax. That’s why I’ve fought tirelessly for months. Yet we can’t pass up an opportunity to end the 91-year-old unconstitutional taxation under the draconian NFA.
This rewrite is another shot at this provision. It’s not perfect, but it’s far better than getting zero 2A victories.
I strongly believe eliminating the tax provides a highly credible basis to challenge the NFA registration in court—because with the taxation repeal, there is no longer a foundation for the registration. The registration database is the method used by the government to account for the tax paid on each firearm by the serial number of the firearm. That’s why they are inseparably linked. No tax, no foundation for a registration database.
We are not giving up, oh no!! We have just begun to fight and win. Let’s use this rare opportunity to eliminate the tax and restore another part of our Second Amendment rights.
@Rep_Clyde I completely agree with you she needs to be fried but we must make the best of a bad situation and come out with something to show for it even if it’s not perfect.
🚨DEVASTATING🚨
The Parliamentarian just ruled HPA and SHORT are NOT Byrd compliant.
GOP Senate leadership MUST override this decision. This fight isn’t over.

This morning, House Republicans passed President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill with my support.
Over the past few days, I’ve worked tirelessly to improve this legislation, as it’s critical that we include as many America First priorities as possible. Budget reconciliation provides us a rare, filibuster-proof opportunity to deliver on our promises to the American people — including historic tax cuts to hardworking Americans, spending cuts, border security funding, job creation, and massive deregulation.
After productive negotiations with the White House and House GOP Leadership, we moved this legislation in a better direction.
For example, we moved work requirements for able-bodied adults on Medicaid up to December 2026 (from the previous and unserious start in 2029). We also secured new incentives for non-Medicaid expansion states (such as Georgia) and made progress in ending Green New Scam subsidies.
One of my key priorities throughout this process has been restoring our constitutional 2A rights, which have been subjected to unconstitutional infringements for the last 90 years under the draconian NFA. The original bill text only removed the $200 transfer tax for suppressors. Now, the bill eliminates both the transfer and making tax for suppressors, as well as the registration. This is a massive 2A victory — one that takes important steps toward restoring our constitutional freedoms.
Unfortunately, the bill does not eliminate the taxation and registration of SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs. Yet we CANNOT give up. Next, this legislation will move to the Senate, providing opportunities for additional positive changes. I’ll be working closely with Senate Republicans to add this provision, and I encourage folks to stay engaged on this matter as the budget reconciliation process moves forward.
I’m encouraged that we’ve strengthened and advanced the One Big Beautiful Bill, and I look forward to working toward getting this historic legislation to President Trump’s desk. Let’s finish what we started: Delivering major wins for the American people.
