Easier Short-Barreled Shotgun Ownership and Record Destruction
This act changes regulations for short-barreled shotguns, removing them from the definition of firearms requiring special registration. This means citizens can acquire and possess such shotguns more easily, and existing registration records will be destroyed. The act aims to simplify regulations for gun owners.
Key points
Short-barreled shotguns will no longer be classified as firearms requiring special federal registration.
Existing federal registrations for short-barreled shotguns will be destroyed within one year of the act's enactment.
State and local registration or licensing requirements for short-barreled shotguns, if tied to federal law, will be considered met if the shotgun is possessed under other federal rules.
The act preempts state and local taxes (other than general sales or use taxes) and marking, recordkeeping, or registration requirements for short-barreled shotguns.
