Texas has passed Senate Bill 1596, which removes state-level regulations on Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) and Short Barreled Shotguns (SBSs). This law aims to nullify state criminal codes used to prosecute possession of these firearms, mirroring a previous suppressor law. However, federal NFA restrictions, including registration and the $200 tax stamp, remain in effect, meaning federal agencies like the ATF can still prosecute violations. The bill is seen as a symbolic move and a potential preemptive measure should federal legislation like the Short Act pass.
