Equal Shot Act of 2025

Fair Treatment for Firearms Businesses: The bill prohibits the SBA Administrator from adopting policies or practices that discriminate against applicants solely because they are a firearm entity, affiliate, or trade association (Section 2). This could benefit businesses engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of firearms and related accessories (Section 3).

Support for Related Businesses: The bill covers "firearm entity affiliates," which includes sport shooting ranges and entities providing instruction on the lawful use of firearms (Section 3). This could provide these specific groups with more equal access to financial assistance or loan guarantees (Section 2).

Protection for Industry Organizations: By including "firearm trade associations," the bill ensures that organizations representing these entities are not discriminated against (Section 3). This provides a layer of protection for those who represent the interests of the industry (Section 2).
