H.R. 335, the "Repeal the NFA Act," would eliminate the National Firearms Act by removing Chapter 53 of the Internal Revenue Code. The National Firearms Act, passed in 1934, currently regulates certain firearms and accessories—including machine guns, silencers, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and destructive devices—by requiring registration, background checks, and a $200 federal tax stamp for each item. If enacted, this bill would remove all federal restrictions and tax requirements associated with these weapons categories, allowing unrestricted civilian ownership of these items without registration or federal approval. The bill was introduced in January 2025 and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee. The legislation does not specify an implementation timeline or address state-level regulations that may remain in place.
