Bretibart News first reported Burlison’s desire to repeal the NFA on January 11, 2025, noting then:
The National Firearms Act (NFA) is the federal law that controls the sale, possession, and transfer of firearms and/or accessories often referred to as Class III. These include suppressors, short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, machine guns, etc. In light of the NFA, a law-abiding gun owner who wants a suppressor must submit photographs and fingerprints, pay a $200 federal tax, submit to an extended background check, and have his accessory registered with the ATF.
In sum, the NFA is a gun control law which was passed in response to gun violence carried out by mobsters and gangsters during the prohibition era, a gun control which hangs over the heads of every law-abiding citizen who wants to buy the firearms or accessories under NFA purview at this time.
Burlison is now zeroing in the $200 federal tax contained in the NFA:
Gun Owners of America’s senior vice president Erich Pratt reacted to Burlison’s post by writing, “Repeal the NFA … abolish the ATF … and destroy the massive gun registry that they’re ILLEGALLY maintaining! Pass it on.”
