Good morning, everybody. It is just about 7:00 a.m. here Thursday morning, and I have some good news, some historic news to pass on to you. On this vote, the Azer 215, the Naser 214, with one answering present. The bill is passed, USA. USA HR1, the big beautiful bill, just passed House vote 215 to 214 by one vote. One—uh, I think one Republican voted present and two no votes, or didn’t vote, not no vote, um, but we passed by one, 215 to 214.
Why is that big? Because in that is the full version of the Hearing Protection Act. Full version, meaning no tax stamp, no registration. It’s just an accessory. So, while this is great news, phenomenal, this has never happened in our lifetime, there’s still another hurdle, and that’s the US Senate.
I have been asked numerous times all night long, because this has been going on all night long, to keep the pressure on. But now, we bring our focus to the United States Senate. The number is still the same, 202-243-1212. And you can ask for your US senators. Remember, you have two senators. Each state has two senators. And it’s time to start letting them know that they need to pass the full version of the Hearing Protection Act in HB1, HR1, I’m sorry, HR1.
However, what wasn’t included is the short act, the Hearing Protection Act. Full versions in the short act was not, which is a bummer. However, we can still get it added in the Senate if we can get a senator who has the stones enough to add the amendment. It’s that simple. Put the verbiage in an amendment, submit the amendment, and try to get the amendment accepted and passed. Now, is it a guarantee? No, it’s not. But if we push them enough, like we did in the House Ways and Means Committee, we pushed them to the point where they caved. In the rules committee, we pushed them to the point where they caved. In the budget committee, we pushed them to the point where they caved because, believe me when I tell you that they didn’t want this to happen. They just wanted to leave it status quo. Leave suppressors as this $200 tax stamp evil thing that you have to beg and plead forgiveness for to own. They didn’t want to change that. You made that happen, Mr. and Mrs. Patriot in America. You made it happen.
So, keep your pressure up. Now, we focus on the Senate. As soon as it gets submitted to the right budget, uh, I think it’s going to be the budget committee or the finance committee in the Senate. I will give you the names and numbers of people to focus on. We’re going to have to keep this up if we want the ultimate victory. But, we are doing great right now. It’s a good morning. It’s beautiful outside. And uh, more work to be done.
I want to thank the groups that have been fighting here: Gun Owners of America, the National Rifle Association, ILA, the NRA ILA, Institute Legislative Action—they have been doing—John Coner has been doing a great job there. Uh, Nagr, all of them, Second Amendment Foundation, they’ve all been pushing uh for where we are right now, and that is good to see. The unity has been good to see.
Guys and gals, our job is not done yet. It is halftime. I’ll tell you when and where and who to focus on, but we get a little bit of a pat on the back because you and you guys made this happen. So, congratulations. We’re very close, closer than we’ve ever been since the NFA was introduced. And I think we got this, but we’re going to have to stay focused and push.
Appreciate y’all. Here’s your morning update on the Hearing Protection Act. And uh, have a great day. I’ll catch you on my video later on this afternoon or this morning. I don’t know. I’m tired. Be safe. Stay vigilant. Carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe. We the people have the power, and we just showed it. Take care. [Music]
