Less-Lethal Weapons: New Rules and Tax Exemptions

This act updates gun laws to make less-than-lethal devices more accessible. Citizens can expect certain self-defense tools, not designed to cause serious harm, to become cheaper and easier to acquire, as they will be exempt from specific taxes and strict regulations. The aim is to promote safer alternatives.
Key points
Tax Exemptions: Less-than-lethal devices and their ammunition will no longer be subject to federal firearms and ammunition taxes, potentially lowering their cost.
Easier Purchase: These devices will be exempt from strict gun regulations, simplifying their acquisition and ownership for citizens.
Clear Definition: The act specifies what qualifies as a less-than-lethal device, excluding traditional firearms and high-velocity projectiles.
Public List: The government will publish and annually update a list of approved less-than-lethal devices, helping citizens easily identify what falls under the new rules.
