What is the SHORT Act and what does it do?

The SHORT Act is a legislative proposal that, if passed, would remove Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) and Short-Barreled Shotguns (SBSs) from the regulations of the National Firearms Act (NFA). This means they would no longer require the special registration and tax stamp currently mandated by the NFA.

What is the status of the SHORT Act legislation?

The SHORT Act has been included in a larger legislative package referred to as the 'big beautiful bill'. It has moved from the House to the Senate and is currently under consideration by the Senate Finance Committee. The bill must still pass both chambers and be signed by the President to become law.

What firearms would remain under the National Firearms Act if the SHORT Act passes?

If the SHORT Act and related provisions are enacted into law, the National Firearms Act (NFA) would primarily regulate machine guns and destructive devices. SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors (via the Hearing Protection Act) would be removed from NFA oversight.

How can I support the SHORT Act and similar firearms legislation?

Supporters are encouraged to contact their elected officials, including senators and House representatives. Expressing support for the SHORT Act and the Hearing Protection Act to legislative leaders and your specific representatives can help ensure these provisions are passed.
