Videos tagged with Barrel Length Laws

This video discusses how the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA) initially mandated an 18-inch minimum barrel length for rifles. It highlights a historical instance where the government sold M1 Carbines with 16.25-inch barrels, inadvertently making owners criminals under the NFA. The law was later amended to reduce the minimum barrel length requirement for rifles, demonstrating the often arbitrary and unintended consequences of firearms legislation.
