From GOA this morning. Unfortunately, at the moment, when you go to the "Take Action" homepage this isn't listed (yet)(The email link goes to a personalized page with (my) personal information already filled in). Maybe later in the day.
I'm under no illusion that sending an email to Schatz, Hirono, and (in my case) Tulsi Gabbard will influence these people to give up their statist civilian disarmament "I support the Second Amendment, but..." positions... but it only takes a minute... and what could it hurt?
How long before someone introduces the "Repeal the NFA and GCA" legislation?
New and Improved Suppressor Legislation in Congress!
As you know, Gun Owners of America strongly opposes all types of gun control -- including the National Firearms Act and the NICS background check system.
And now there's a bill that will deal a major blow to both of those ugly marks on the Second Amendment.
Senators Mike Lee and Mike Crapo, along with Representative Steve King introduced the "Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act" or SHUSH Act in both Senate and House (S. 1505 and H.R. 3139).
But you may be thinking: Isn't there already a suppressor bill in Congress? Yes, there is. It's the Hearing Protection Act which was has been introduced back in January.
But the new SHUSH Act expands firearm freedom further than the Hearing Protection Act ever did.
The SHUSH Act would not only remove suppressors from the NFA, it would legally treat suppressors as a firearm accessory, which means you could buy a suppressor as you could buy a scope -- without a background check.
The fact is that suppressors are little more than elaborate metal tubes. There is no reason -- other than blind hatred of gun owners -- why these devices should be regulated at all.
So let's make some noise on Capitol Hill about the SHUSH Act. Contact your Senators and Representatives to urge them to cosponsors S. 1505 and H.R. 3139.
In Liberty,
Jordan Stein
Director of Communications
Gun Owners of America

When I click on the link above I get the form already filled out with my personal info. If that doesn't work for people who might not be in the system, GOA has now updated their website with a generic link to a "Take Action" button if you need to try that:

Filled out and waiting for our glorious reps' cookie cutter replies :thumbs up:

The problem with the letter is that it just mentions about the tax. I had to type in "and make them legal in Hawaii".

Hey, it's a petition about legislation, not miracles. :shaka:
