Changes to Short-Barreled Rifle Regulations and Registration.
This act aims to remove short-barreled rifles from the definition of firearms subject to special federal regulations. This means citizens owning such rifles will no longer need to register them federally, and existing registration data will be destroyed. The changes may affect how states regulate the possession of these weapons.
Key points
Short-barreled rifles will no longer be treated as firearms requiring special federal registration.
Existing federal registrations of short-barreled rifles will be destroyed within one year of the act's enactment.
The act may preempt certain state and local laws regarding taxes, marking, or registration of short-barreled rifles if they refer to federal law.
