Statement summary
Eric Burlison signed a letter urging nationwide NFA non-enforcement to avoid unequal treatment and requesting that DOJ decline an appeal and begin rulemaking.
“Action: Signed an August 11 letter urging DOJ to apply the NFA ruling nationwide, decline an appeal and begin rulemaking.”
The letter asks DOJ to decline an appeal and apply the ruling nationwide before formal rulemaking. It recognizes the injunction's narrower coverage.

“The federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to build a surveillance state that tracks law-abiding Americans.”
Bill announcement, funding scope, exceptions, and sponsor quotations
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Burlison said the federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to build a surveillance state, and co-led a bill barring federal funding for the readers with exceptions. A funding bar rather than a ban on every use fits Mixed or conditional.
