A Big Beautiful Betrayal in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill?’ The Latest Opinion Piece in Firearms News
July 10, 2025
DENVER (July 10, 2025) – Firearms News showcases a timely opinion piece titled "The One Big Betrayal in the One Big Beautiful Bill” by News Field Editor Darwin Nercesian. The article highlights the missed opportunity to dismantle key provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA), among other things. Read the full article here.
In the article, Nercesian examines the roles of Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Vice President JD Vance in the bill's final form, as well as the grassroots efforts to champion the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) and the SHORT Act. The piece also explores the upcoming "One Big Beautiful Lawsuit" aimed at challenging the remaining NFA provisions. The lawsuit aims to dismantle the NFA's registration requirements, arguing that the law's constitutional justification collapses with the elimination of the tax.
"This fight is far from over," said Nercesian. "Gun owners will remember those who had the opportunity to dismantle one of the most significant infringements on their rights but chose not to act. The upcoming elections will be a litmus test for those who claim to support the Second Amendment."
