This bill significantly amends federal firearms law by removing short-barreled shotguns from the regulatory framework of the National Firearms Act (NFA). It strikes them from the NFA's definition of "firearm" and clarifies that shotguns are not to be treated as "destructive devices," effectively eliminating federal registration and transfer requirements for these items. The legislation also removes short-barreled shotguns from specific federal prohibitions on certain transfers and sales under title 18 of the U.S. Code. Furthermore, the bill includes strong provisions to preempt state and local laws that impose taxes (beyond general sales), marking, recordkeeping, or registration requirements on short-barreled shotguns. It also specifies that for state or local laws referencing the NFA, compliance with general federal firearms law will satisfy those requirements. A key component mandates the destruction of federal records , requiring the Attorney General to eliminate all existing NFA registration and application records for these shotguns within 365 days of enactment.
