Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SHORT Act and why is it important for firearm owners?

The SHORT Act aims to repeal the unconstitutional tax on short-barreled firearms and prevent the National Firearms Act (NFA) from being used for bans, such as those on pistol braces. It's crucial for reducing regulatory burdens and protecting Second Amendment rights.

How can I support the Hearing Protection Act (HPA)?

You can support the HPA by contacting your elected officials, particularly members of the Senate Finance Committee. Urge them to include the full HPA in legislative packages. Consistent communication via calls and emails is effective.

What are the current NFA regulations for Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) and suppressors?

Currently, SBRs and suppressors are regulated under the NFA, requiring a $200 tax stamp and a permit processing time that can range from 6 to 9 months. The SHORT Act and HPA aim to change these regulations.

What is Constitutional Carry and how can I get involved in its legislative process?

Constitutional Carry allows permitless carry of firearms. You can get involved by staying informed about state-level bills, contacting your legislators to express support, and preparing to mobilize for potential veto overrides, as seen in North Carolina.
