People would pay less for certain less-lethal devices and their ammunition.
This bill would remove federal taxes on certain less-lethal projectile devices and their ammunition. It would also remove these devices from strict firearm regulations, making them potentially cheaper and easier for consumers to buy and for manufacturers to sell.
Today, less-than-lethal projectile devices and their ammunition are subject to federal taxes and are defined as "firearms" under the National Firearms Act, meaning they face strict regulations. After this bill, certain less-than-lethal projectile devices and their ammunition would be exempt from these federal taxes and from the National Firearms Act's definition of a "firearm," as long as they do not shoot projectiles faster than 500 feet per second or use common firearm ammunition.
