Posts - Bill - HR 3998 Firearms Congressional Notification Modernization Act
house 06/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update the Arms Export Control Act by raising the financial threshold that triggers congressional notification for firearm export licenses. This change aims to streamline the process by requiring notifications only for larger transactions valued at $4 million or more, instead of $1 million.

Less red tape means America’s defense exports stay competitive—bureaucracy isn’t our enemy, efficiency is.

Raising the bar sounds modern, but is it modernization or just a blindfold in disguise?

Raising the threshold? Cool, now Congress gets notified less—talk about slipping guns under the radar.

Four million before a heads-up? That’s like saying, ‘Keep calm and export more deadly toys,’ no questions asked.

Maybe streamlining notifications saves time, but are we trading transparency for speed here?

Four million is a smart threshold—no need to nag over every pistol when big deals are the real story.

Hitting that $4 million mark feels like Congress can take a coffee break while big deals slip by.

If we trust our exporters, why babysit every little sale? Let’s cut the nonsense and get back to business.

More loopholes, fewer checks—this bill’s the gun lobby’s best friend, not ours.
