Repealing the National Firearms Act: Fewer Regulations for Citizens

This bill aims to completely abolish the provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA). This means that certain types of firearms and accessories, currently subject to strict regulations, registration, and taxation, may become more easily accessible to citizens. This change could impact gun owners' rights and responsibilities, as well as public safety concerns.
Key points
Repealing the National Firearms Act (NFA) means an end to federal registration and taxation requirements for certain types of firearms, such as short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors, and automatic weapons.
