Eric Burlison, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri's 7th district, has recently shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Burlison, who succeeded Billy Long in Congress in 2023, has been vocal about his stance on freedom of speech, national priorities, and constitutional rights.
On March 24, 2025, Burlison expressed his opinion regarding the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs). He stated that "Freedom of speech doesn't require a $200 tax stamp, and neither should an SBR." Burlison called for the passage of H.R. 335 to repeal the NFA.
The following day, March 25, 2025, Burlison emphasized the importance of prioritizing national interests by stating that "No other nation on the globe is going to put America first but us."
Later that day, he shared another tweet criticizing the Democratic Party's stance on constitutional rights. He urged followers to "Never forget how much Democrats hate your constitutional rights."
