Eliminating Federal Taxes and Registration for Short-Barreled Rifles and Shotguns
This bill removes short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from the definition of firearms under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Consequently, citizens would no longer be required to pay federal transfer taxes or register these specific items. Furthermore, the law mandates the Attorney General to destroy existing federal records related to the ownership of these weapons and preempts certain state and local taxes and registration requirements.
