Equal Shot Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the Small Business Administration (SBA) from denying financial assistance - such as loans or guarantees - to firearm-related businesses solely based on their industry. It directly affects firearm entities (manufacturers, sellers, and distributors), firearm entity affiliates (like shooting ranges), and firearm trade associations by requiring the SBA to treat them equally under existing programs. The key provision bans SBA policies that discriminate against these applicants, ensuring they can access standard SBA support without industry-based barriers. The bill does not create new funding but mandates equal treatment for eligible applicants already covered by SBA law.
