Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert\u2019s latest bill is already catching eyes \u2013 and we\u2019re just imagining a scene akin to a famous \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d sketch if that bill she introduced Wednesday becomes law.<\/p>\n

Boebert launched herself into the public consciousness in a 2019 incident where she went viral after she told then-Democratic presidential candidate Beto O\u2019Rourke point-blank, \u201cHell, no,\u201d when it came to his proposal for an Australia-style law targeting modern semiautomatic firearms. That eventually propelled her into the United States House of Representatives, where she\u2019s now co-chair of the Second Amendment Caucus.

Boebert wants to zero out every remaining tax from the National Firearms Act (NFA), according to a Wednesday release. Boebert\u2019s bill, the Freedom from Taxes Act or HR 8921, does the same thing for \u201cmachine guns\u201d and \u201cdestructive devices,\u201d and could go into the next reconciliation bill sent to President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The reconciliation bill\u00a0signed into law by Trump on July 4, 2025, contained provisions that reduced the taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and guns described as \u201cany other weapon\u201d to $0 after the Senate Parliamentarian struck language that removed those items from any coverage of the 1934 NFA.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, the elimination of those taxes has led to a number of lawsuits from pro-Second Amendment groups, seeking to have courts strike down the registration requirement for items covered under the NFA. Gun rights groups are already praising her for introducing the bill on X.<\/p>\n

Seriously, was she daydreaming about standing outside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives\u2019 (ATF) headquarters as the agents who once handled the NFA section move on to new duties that don\u2019t involve making life difficult for those who wish to\u2026 fully exercise their Second Amendment rights, saying, \u201cBuh-bye,\u201d as David Spade and Helen Hunt did in a famous Saturday Night Live sketch?<\/p>\n

Imagine putting the ATF\u2019s NFA section on the road to being\u2026 well, if not out of work, maybe doing something more\u2026 productive for their salaries, which come from our tax dollars.<\/p>\n
