Beyond the ATF: Rep. Burlison Seeks to Repeal the National Firearms Act

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) will introduce legislation Monday to repeal the National Firearms Act (1934).

Burlison used an X post to announce his intentions:

The National Firearms Act (NFA) is the federal law that controls the sale, possession, and transfer of firearms and/or accessories often referred to as Class III. These include suppressors, short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, machine guns, etc. In light of the NFA, a law-abiding gun owner who wants a suppressor must submit photographs and fingerprints, pay a $200 federal tax, submit to an extended background check, and have his accessory registered with the ATF.

The same cumbersome process applies for a short-barreled shotgun or rifle, and for a machine gun, too.
