Eliminating Federal Tax on Firearm Transfers (RIFLE Act)

This bill eliminates the federal excise tax currently imposed on the transfer of certain regulated firearms, often referred to as the "tax stamp." Citizens transferring items regulated under the National Firearms Act (like suppressors or short-barreled rifles) would no longer have to pay this specific federal excise tax, reducing the cost of these transactions. The changes apply to transfers made after the date of enactment.
Key points
Removes the federal excise tax (Section 5811) applied to the transfer of specific regulated firearms and accessories.
Savings for citizens: the purchase of the federal "tax stamp" will no longer be required for the legal transfer of these items.
