Congress is in a funding fight—and they have less than two weeks left to figure it out. Check out this episode of the Minuteman Moment where Ben dives into what's happening and what it could mean for the 2A.⤵️

A 6 month CR + SAVE Act is a win for gun owners! 1️⃣It protects ~10,000 vets from being disarmed 2️⃣It continues historic ATF budget cuts 3️⃣It forces ATF to keep improving NFA approval times 4️⃣It prevents illegal aliens from voting for gun grabbers 5️⃣It avoids an unaccountable,

By passing the CR + SAVE Act, Congress can (1) protect the Second Amendment, (2) secure our elections, and (3) avoid a costly, lame-duck omnibus The CR + SAVE Act should be an easy “yes”—especially for Republicans Please like and share if you agree

The Constitution says: ✅ Citizenship for voting ❌No government permission to purchase a firearm The EXACT OPPOSITE of what we currently have! How did we get so far off base?

Hey, Elon Musk! Thank you for sharing. This is why we're lobbying to avoid a lame duck omnibus—including all the gun control and massive spending that comes with it.👏

Elon Musk Congress must avoid a disastrous lame duck omnibus. Passing the Continuing Resolution + SAVE Act will: ✅Continue historic ATF budget cuts ✅Maintain fast NFA approval times ✅Prevent illegal aliens from voting for gun grabbers

Gun control isn't about reducing crime, its about banning gun ownership! That's why gun grabbers blame "assault weapons" or handguns but NEVER the criminal.

Correct. The only chance of NOT having a roughly 75 day continuing resolution into the lame duck in December & providing a shot at the #SAVEAct (both policy & message) is to have picked the fight last week. Now the nay-sayers are guaranteeing the lame duck CR & no SAVE.

Why are you for a lame duck continuing resolution before Christmas and walking away from the #SAVEAct? because that’s what’s now going to happen… Congrats!

This mentality that “all is already lost” is so frustrating. There are many elected officials, staffers, organizations, coalitions, lobbyists, and grassroots activists ready to fight for the 6-month CR + SAVE Act (and to hold GOP leadership accountable if they try to sell out)!

Those who vote against the CR + SAVE Act will — if they succeed in defeating it — guarantee (1) a lame-duck omnibus, and (2) an election in which large numbers of noncitizens could vote, potentially changing the outcome of the election. I sincerely hope they will reconsider.

Something that would stop noncitizens from voting isn’t a “bright shiny object.” If you think that provision will later be abandoned, say so and try to stop the abandonment. But it’s wrong to speak of a critical election-security measure as a trivial gimmick.
