The SHORT Act is legislation designed to remove short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and Any Other Weapons (AOWs) from NFA regulations. While not included in the bill that passed the House, it can be amended and added, and advocates are encouraged to contact their senators to support its inclusion alongside the HPA.

What are the implications of the Hearing Protection Act passing the House?
