ICYMI: Taylor’s Bill Promoting Domestic Gun Manufacturing Advances through House Committee

June 10, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) applauded the inclusion of his MAGA (Make American Guns Again) Act in the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that passed through the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday, June 4. “America’s arsenal should never be dependent on foreign hands. If our military’s weapons supply chain is not secure, neither is our nation’s future,” said Congressman Taylor. “My MAGA Act will reduce dependence on foreign companies for the weapons American troops rely on to defend our freedoms, and I am proud to see this bill advance out of Committee as part of the FY27 NDAA. In Congress, I will continue fighting to secure America’s defense supply chains, strengthen domestic manufacturing, create well-paying local jobs, and ensure our warfighters have reliable, American-made equipment.” Background Congressman Taylor initially introduced the MAGA Act on July 17, 2025. This bill would require the Secretary of War to submit a report to congressional defense committees no later than March 15, 2027, on the prevalence of government-issued small arms and light weapons used by America’s military that were either manufactured outside of the United States or in the U.S. by a subsidiary of a foreign-owned entity. This bill would additionally require the Secretary of War to issue recommendations for procuring more small arms and light weapons from companies that are American-owned, operated, and located in the United States. The NDAA is reauthorized by Congress each fiscal year to establish military pay and benefits, reform defense acquisitions, and revitalize America’s defense industrial base. It additionally improves service members’ quality of life through benefits like pay raises and housing assistance, expedites innovation to warfighters, and strengthens America’s overall deterrence.
