Opposition Strengthens Against Obama NFA Firearms Agenda

US House floorThe U.S. House of Representatives dealt a significant blow to the Obama Administration’s ‘41P’ proposal attempt to create red tape for firearms regulated b the National Firearms Act (‘NFA’), such as suppressors, short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, and machine guns.

Before discussing the legislation passed by the House, let’s review recent events with 41P.  In Spring 2015, the National Sheriffs’ Association, which represents elected sheriffs of both political parties, publicly announced its opposition to 41p.  Subsequently, in May 2015, BATFE skipped yet another one of its self-imposed deadlines for 41P and announced a six month delay.  Such delays by BATFE have become the norm since 41P was first proposed almost two years ago.  This latest delay put any possible adoption of 41P into fiscal year 2016, unless it were canceled altogether or were delayed like many times before.  Enter the U.S. House of Representatives, which controls the purse strings of the federal government.

On June 3rd, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the fiscal year 2016 Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies (CJS) Appropriations bill, H.R. 2578 by a 242 – 183 margin. The House passed that bill with an amendment submitted by Congressman John Carter (R-TX), which denies BATFE funding for 41P or any other change to the NFA.

The U.S. Senate is now considering the CJS bill.  Its version might require reconciliation with H.R. 2578, and then the final version will either be signed for vetoed by President. 

Undoubtedly, these recent events reflect the growing, high-level support for the fight against 41P.  If a person still felt concerned about the possibility of 41P or other new gun control laws, it is best to be proactive.  For this reason, Arsenal Attorneys™ offer the Arsenal Gun Trust™.  Our solution can help with the acquisition of NFA firearms, the lawful handling of those firearms, and the inheritance of them.
