A provision in the recent domestic policy bill reportedly reduces the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax to zero dollars for items such as suppressors and short-barreled rifles. Legal experts suggest this reduction could allow for lawsuits challenging the validity of the NFA registration system itself. This is characterized as a significant, though quiet, victory for Second Amendment advocates.
Automatic Weapons Regulation, National Firearms Act
Owning a fully automatic weapon in the United States is legal but heavily restricted under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The process requires a Class 3 permit and a national tax stamp, often costing $10,000 or more, which creates significant friction for legal ownership. Most modern rifles sold to civilians, such as the AK-47 variants, are semi-automatic rather than true machine guns.
