WHAT’S GOING ON WITH SHORT BARREL RIFLES? The $200 Tax on Short Barrel Rifles (SBRs), Short Barrel Shotguns (SBSs), and Any Other Weapons (AOWs) was removed in the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB). However, the requirement to register these items on an ATF Form 1 or Form 4 remains.
Recent federal court rulings (such as Jensen v. ATF and Silencer Shop v. ATF in the Northern District of Texas) have struck down National Firearms Act (NFA) registration requirements as unconstitutional following the elimination of the NFA tax stamp. The DOJ is appealing this ruling. Be careful. Some are already selling these items without the registration. This is a complex subject and it’s not completely safe yet to buy NFA items without registration.
TAKE ACTION TODAY BY CONTACTING THE WHITE HOUSE
You should contact the White house state that the DOJ should not push for an appeal of the ruling. It’s easy go https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ or call this number (202) 456-1111. Tell them something like this:
“As a law-abiding gun owner and citizen, I respectfully ask the administration to direct the Department of Justice to accept the federal court rulings holding NFA registration requirements unconstitutional. Respecting these decisions protects constitutional rights, eliminates unnecessary regulatory burdens on lawful owners, and allows law enforcement resources to focus on actual violent crime.”
Sincerely,
