No Frivolous Application for Short-Barreled Shotguns Act or the NFA SBS Act
This bill removes certain short-barreled shotguns from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act. It also eliminates the prohibition on the sale or transportation of such shotguns in interstate commerce and treats persons who acquire or possess a short-barreled shotgun as meeting the registration or licensing requirements for such shotguns where such requirements are determined by reference to the National Firearms Act.
The bill preempts state or local laws that impose a tax or recordkeeping requirements on short-barreled shotguns.
The Department of Justice must destroy records relating to the registration of shotguns described by this bill within one year after the enactment of this bill.
Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.
