The NRA ILA has petitioned the US Supreme Court to hear a challenge to the National Firearms Act of 1934's restrictions on short-barreled rifles in the case Rush v. United States. This legal action is framed as a significant move by the NRA to challenge federal gun control measures, specifically targeting the taxation and registration requirements imposed by the NFA. The petition argues that these restrictions are unconstitutional and violate the Second Amendment, particularly in light of the Supreme Court's recent jurisprudence on commonly used firearms.
