Ends federal gun rules and state taxes on short-barreled rifles and shotguns, orders records destroyed.
This bill would remove short-barreled rifles, shotguns, and some other weapons from federal gun rules. People who own them would no longer need to register them or pay federal taxes when they are sold. Many state and local rules on these weapons would also be canceled, and related federal records would be destroyed.
Today, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and "any other weapon" are classified as "firearms" under federal law, requiring registration and transfer taxes, and states can add their own rules. After this bill, these weapons would no longer be considered "firearms" under federal law, ending federal registration and transfer taxes. State and local taxes or registration requirements on short-barreled rifles and shotguns would also be overridden.
