Tell Congress: ABOLISH the ATF & REPEAL the NFA (H.R. 221 & H.R. 335)!

For decades, the ATF has abused its power, criminalizing gun owners through unconstitutional regulations and armed raids. The agency changes firearm laws without congressional approval, turning law-abiding Americans into felons overnight. But abolishing the ATF alone won’t fix the problem if the National Firearms Act (NFA) remains in place.


The NFA of 1934 imposes unconstitutional restrictions, taxes, and registrations on:

  • Short-barreled rifles & shotguns
  • Machine guns
  • Suppressors
  • Destructive devices

The ATF has weaponized the NFA to ban pistol braces, forced-reset triggers, and homemade firearms. Even if the ATF is abolished, another agency like the FBI or DOJ could take over its duties and continue targeting gun owners.

That’s why Congress must pass H.R. 221 to abolish the ATF and H.R. 335 to repeal the NFA. Without eliminating both, the federal government will continue having an easy time infringing on the Second Amendment whenever an anti-gun administration takes office.

Tell TX Legislators: Ban "Red Flag" Gun Confiscation in Texas! (SB 1362 & HB 162)

Help Protect Responsible Gun Owners

Dangerous and unconstitutional “Red Flag” gun confiscation laws empower the government to seize firearms from law-abiding citizens based on unsubstantiated accusations—without due process, without evidence, and without a crime being committed.

That’s why Sen. Bryan Hughes and Rep. Briscoe Cain have introduced SB 1362 & HB 162 to ban Red Flag style laws in Texas.

This legislation goes even further by rejecting any federal money that incentivizes Red Flag-style laws, including the gun control money approved by John Cornyn and Joe Biden’s “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” in 2022.

We cannot allow anti-gun bureaucrats or federal dollars to undermine our state’s commitment to the Constitution. 

SB 1362 & HB 162 will ensure no local government, agency, or official can enforce these unconstitutional schemes in Texas. 

The Texas Senate swiftly passed SB 1362 — but the House has failed to act on either bill.

Fill out the form on this page to email your elected officials, urging them to support SB 1362 & HB 162 WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY!

Tell TX Legislators: Make Gun Rights a Priority in Austin!

Support Pro-2A Legislation in Texas!

With Republicans in control of the Texas Legislature, there’s no excuse—now is the time to fight for and restore our Second Amendment rights.

Texas Gun Rights is leading the charge on key pro-gun legislation in 2025, and we need your help to push lawmakers to act. 

Use the form on this page to urge your elected official to TAKE ACTION on the priorities below:

🔥 BAN “RED FLAG” GUN CONFISCATION
  • SB 1362 (Hughes) & HB 162 (Cain) would ban unconstitutional Red Flag gun confiscation in Texas and prevent state agencies, counties, and cities from accepting federal gun control funds—including money authorized by John Cornyn & Joe Biden’s “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” (2022)—to enact backdoor gun confiscation.
🔥 END DEADLY “GUN-FREE ZONES

“Gun-free zones (GFZ’s) do nothing but disarm law-abiding Texans while criminals ignore the rules. These bills would restore Texans’ right to self-defense in more places:

  • SB 83, Hall (LTC for public schools)
  • SB 1065, Hall (Prohibiting GFZ’s on public property)
  • HB 925, Cain (Removing automatic penalties for accidental carry in GFZ’s)
  • HB 1128, Isaac (Carry for election judges)
  • HB 1794, Tepper (Carry at polling places for LTC)
  • HB 1908, Schatzline (Restaurant Carry / 51% reform)
  • HB 2031, Richardson (Expanding tenant rights)
  • HB 3428, Tinderholt (Protecting gun owners from anti-gun businesses with unclear or improper signage.
  • HB 4201, Schatzline (Eliminating SEVERAL gun free zones for LTC holders.)
🔥 Civil Liability Protection for Gun Owners
  • SB 1730, Hall (Kyle’s law – Strengthening civil protections for justified use).
  • HB 170, Guillen (Kyle’s Law – Strengthening civil protections for justified use).
  • SB 2620, Creighton – Adding civil protections for businesses that allow law-abiding gun owners to carry on their property).
  • HB 644, C. Bell (Adding civil protections for businesses that allow law-abiding gun owners to carry on their property).
🔥 DECRIMINALIZING SHORT-BARREL FIREARMS 

Texas law is currently more restrictive than federal law when it comes to SBR’s & SBS’s. Not only that, the ATF has made rifle, pistol, and SBR classifications so convoluted that state law enforcement often find themselves confused on differences between these very similar firearms. 

  • HB 259, Hayes & SB 1596, Hagenbuch would put Texas in line with Federal law and prevent state confusion.
🔥 ELIMINATE SALES TAX ON FIREARMS & AMMO

Texans shouldn’t have to pay extra to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

  • HB 920, Bumgarner & SB 1603, Hinojosa would end the sales tax on firearms, ammunition, and accessories, making it more affordable for Texans to defend themselves.
🔥 SECOND AMENDMENT PRESERVATION ACT (SAPA)

The state of Texas (and municipalities) should NOT enforce Federal gun control laws that are more restrictive than state law.

  • HB 3934, Hopper would provide Texas with the tools to exercise its 10th Amendment rights to protect the Second Amendment, and prohibit state & local resources from being used to enforce gun control that is more restrictive than the laws of the state of Texas.

]]> Pass the SHUSH Act NOW! https://txgunrights.org/pass-the-shush-act-now/ Tue, 06 Feb 1900 20:26:54 +0000 https://txgunrights.org/?p=6868

Tell Congress: Pass the SHUSH Act NOW! 🚨(S. 345/H.R. 850)

Defend Your Rights: Support the SHUSH Act Today!

The ATF is waging an unconstitutional crackdown on law-abiding gun owners—raiding homes, arresting innocent Americans, and prosecuting those who simply own suppressors. These devices are not weapons; they are essential tools for hearing protection, yet the government continues to regulate them under the outdated National Firearms Act (NFA). Even in states like Texas, where state law exempts suppressors from federal oversight, the ATF ignores these protections and targets citizens anyway. With the recent Fifth Circuit ruling stating that suppressors are not “arms” under the Second Amendment, it is time for Congress to act.

The SHUSH Act (S. 345/H.R. 850) is the solution. This critical legislation would fully deregulate suppressors, eliminating unnecessary wait times, tax stamps, and registration requirements while restoring the Second Amendment rights of millions. It would also put an end to ATF overreach, protecting Americans from unjust prosecution. With a pro-gun majority in Congress, there is no excuse for inaction. Demand that your representatives stand up for your rights—urge them to pass the SHUSH Act now!
