Ending Federal Registration and Taxes on Short-Barreled Rifles and Shotguns
This Act removes short-barreled rifles and shotguns from the definition of 'firearm' under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This change eliminates the federal requirement for citizens to register these weapons and pay special transfer taxes. Furthermore, the law mandates the Attorney General to destroy existing federal registration records and applications related to these specific types of weapons within 365 days of enactment.
