Tax and Regulation Changes for Less-Lethal Weapons
This new law modifies tax and firearms regulations, exempting certain less-lethal devices from specific taxes and strict rules. This means some devices not designed to cause serious harm will no longer be subject to special taxes or stringent regulations, potentially affecting their availability and cost for citizens.
Key points
Less-lethal devices, such as those not firing common firearm ammunition or high-velocity projectiles, will be exempt from firearms and ammunition taxes.
These devices will no longer be subject to the strict rules of the National Firearms Act, potentially making them easier to acquire and own.
The government will publish and annually update lists of devices classified as less-lethal, providing clarity on which items fall under the new rules.
