Gun Owners of America @GunOwners - BREAKING
@Rep_Clyde just ripped the Senate Parliamentarian to shreds ⤵
“The unelected Senate Parliamentarian struck [the GOA-backed full NFA excise tax repeal] provision erroneously, claiming that it violated the Byrd Rule. I vehemently disagree with her, and I believe many of her rulings prove she’s incapable of making sound, non-partisan decisions.
“Let me be perfectly clear: the taxation and registration under the National Firearms Act are inseparably linked. 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, and I’d like to show you something. This is an example right here of the tax stamp itself.
*shows several NFA tax stamps*
“Despite this fact, the unelected Senate Parliamentarian determined that the proposed amendment provision in the Senate bill was not budget-related and therefore violated the rule. This is simply false. Her ruling was flat-out wrong. The tax stamp right here is clear evidence that you have a serial number of a firearm used to document the registration and the tax on the form itself.
“I never want to rely on the courts. I believe we can and must do more. That’s why I’ve introduced this amendment, which reinserts the Second Amendment victories the American people demand and deserve.
“My amendment would ensure the Senate has another opportunity to consider my common-sense provision to remove these firearms from the tax database of the National Firearms Act.
“This amendment gives us another chance to eliminate the 91-year-old taxation and registration of suppressors and short-barreled firearms, championing American Second Amendment liberty instead of tolerating the partisan, unelected Senate Parliamentarian’s illogical ruling.
“The American people are demanding that we fight. This amendment ensures that the fight lives on.”

Gun Owners of America @GunOwners - 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!
