House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) just dropped a bombshell on Breitbart News Daily, laying out his latest bill to slam the door on congressional stock trading. We’re talking a full ban on members of Congress buying or selling individual stocks while in office—no more insider tips turning Capitol Hill into a private hedge fund. Steil frames it as a trust-restoring move amid endless scandals where lawmakers mysteriously outperform the market, like Pelosi’s crew raking in gains that’d make Warren Buffett blush. This isn’t just housekeeping; it’s a direct shot at the swamp’s grift machine, where politicians leverage non-public info on everything from defense contracts to regulatory shifts for personal windfalls.

Dig deeper, and this hits the 2A community square in the chest. Imagine the ripple effects: Congress routinely pumps out anti-gun legislation fueled by donor dollars from Michael Bloomberg’s empire or Everytown’s coffers. If Steil’s bill passes, it could kneecap that insider game—lawmakers might think twice before tanking gun stocks with surprise regs if their own portfolios are off-limits. We’ve seen it play out; post-2022 midterms, shares in Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger spiked on pro-2A momentum, while Dems with heavy short positions squirmed. Banning trades forces transparency, potentially shielding the firearms industry from politically motivated market manipulations and giving 2A stocks a fairer fight against activist assaults.

The implications are massive for gun owners: a cleaner Congress means less temptation for pay-to-play schemes that indirectly fund assaults on our rights. Steil’s push, if it gains traction, could be the catalyst for broader reforms—pair it with term limits or ethics overhauls, and suddenly the uniparty’s grip loosens. 2A patriots should cheer this on; it’s not just about stocks, it’s about starving the beast that feeds on our freedoms. Watch this space—Steil’s got the gavel, and the clock’s ticking toward a vote.
