If our military\u2019s weapons supply chain is not secure, neither is our nation\u2019s future,\u201d said Congressman Taylor. \u201cMy 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\u2019s defense supply chains, strengthen domestic manufacturing, create well-paying local jobs, and ensure our warfighters have reliable, American-made equipment.\u201d\n\nBackground\n\nCongressman 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\u2019s 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.\n\nThe NDAA is reauthorized by Congress each fiscal year to establish military pay and benefits, reform defense acquisitions, and revitalize America\u2019s defense industrial base. It additionally improves service members\u2019 quality of life through benefits like pay raises and housing assistance, expedites innovation to warfighters, and strengthens America\u2019s overall deterrence.\n\nThe report language reflecting provisions from Congressman Taylor\u2019s MAGA Act in the FY27 NDAA is available here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:11:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases/icymi-taylors-bill-promoting-domestic-gun-manufacturing-advances-through-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.4121878668665886, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
