Americans are tired of unelected bureaucrats making up new laws that infringe on their constitutional rights, and I want to thank @Rep_Clyde for partnering with me to lead H.J. Res. 44—with bipartisan support—through the House. #2A

Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) also celebrated the passage of the resolution, tweeting, “The House just passed H.R.44, disapproving the Biden admin’s unconstitutional pistol brace ban. This admin has weaponized the ATF against Americans & shown a blatant disregard for the Constitution. Thankful to battle alongside Rep. Clyde & fellow conservatives in this fight.”
On April 20, 2023, Breitbart News reported that H.J. Res. 44 passed out of committee, at which time Rep. Clyde told Breitbart News he was convinced the resolution would reach the House floor for a vote.
The vote happened tonight and the focus is now on pushing the resolution through the Senate.
