Most Americans are unaware that a new rule from President Biden's ATF
is less than one week away from turning millions of fellow citizens
into felons overnight.

The new rule targets firearms that utilize a brace, a device
originally designed to aid disabled veterans in shooting guns without
assistance. These braces were approved for sale and use by ATF
themselves.

An estimated 40 million of these firearms are owned by law-abiding
citizens. Those citizens, unless aware of the ATF's rule change, will
become felons on June 1st – unless the House votes on H. J. Res. 44 to
overturn the ban using the Congressional Review Act.

This process allows both chambers of Congress to pass a resolution of
disapproval to nullify the regulation, and a vote in the Senate would
not be subject to filibuster rules.

    When the clock strikes midnight on May 31st, up to 40,000,000
pistol-braced firearms will be deemed illegal by the ATF.

    And the law-abiding Americans who own these guns will become felons.

    Congress can stop this tyranny by passing my bill, H.J.Res. 44.

    But we must act NOW.

The Republican-controlled House has already cleared the resolution
through committee. Currently, there are 189 cosponsors of the bill.
But for some reason, it is not scheduled a vote before Congress goes
into recess or the rule goes into effect.

This vote is extremely important because it would force members of the
Senate, with vulnerable Democrats in gun-friendly states, to go on the
record while answering this question: will you vote to allow this
administration to turn many of your constituents into felons
overnight?

Even though the CRA likely would be vetoed by the President, getting
these members of Congress on record holds them accountable to their
constituents. It would look ridiculous if they voted no on an issue
like this which affects such a large swath of the population, but then
turned around and preached about being "pro-gun."

Ben from GOA explains why the ATF's 'free' tax stamp for your braced
firearms isn't exactly free...

This is where we need your help.

You can call your elected officials at (202) 224-3121.

Tell them to demand that your representative tell Speaker McCarthy to
schedule a vote for this important issue that impacts millions of
Americans.

And if they aren't already, let them know to support S.J. RES. 20 if
they're in the Senate & H.J. RES. 20 if they're in the House of
Representatives

We'll hold the line for you in Washington. We are No Compromise. Join
the Fight Now.
