To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the National Firearms Act.
This bill incorrectly claims to repeal the National Firearms Act (NFA), but its actual text only repeals a specific tax provision (Chapter 53) within the Internal Revenue Code. It would remove a federal tax on certain firearms and related items, but does not affect the NFA itself, which remains in effect as a separate law. The NFA, enacted in 1934, continues to regulate machine guns, short-barreled rifles, and other firearms through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This bill’s title misrepresents its scope, as it only modifies tax law, not the core NFA regulations.
