Gun Control Act: Changes to Firearm Definition and Registration
This act changes how certain types of weapons are classified and registered. It means some weapons previously requiring special federal registration may no longer need it. Additionally, existing federal records for these weapons are to be destroyed, potentially impacting owners' privacy.
Key points
Certain weapons, previously subject to special federal regulations, will no longer be considered firearms for National Firearms Act purposes.
Existing federal registrations and applications for these weapons will be destroyed within one year of the act's enactment.
Possession of these weapons in accordance with federal law will be considered compliance with state or local registration or licensing requirements if those requirements reference the National Firearms Act.
