Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Short Act and what does it aim to achieve?

The Short Act, or Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today Act (HR2395), is a legislative proposal aimed at removing short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and 'any other weapons' from the National Firearms Act (NFA). This would allow these firearms to be regulated like standard firearms, requiring only a background check.

Why is Gun Owners of America pushing to repeal parts of the National Firearms Act?

GOA believes the NFA, enacted in 1934, represents nearly a century of gun control infringements. They argue it's used to target law-abiding citizens and that recent actions, like the pistol brace ban, demonstrate its potential for overreach.

What is the significance of the pistol brace ban controversy?

The Biden administration's attempt to classify pistol braces as short-barreled rifles led to millions of legally owned braces being deemed illegal. This action, along with the underlying NFA regulations, is what the Short Act seeks to address and repeal.

How can individuals help pass the Short Act and Hearing Protection Act?

Supporters are urged to call the House Ways and Means Committee at 202-225-3625 to advocate for HR2395 (Short Act) and HR404 (Hearing Protection Act). Educating oneself and contacting congressional representatives and their staff is also crucial.
