Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove short-barreled rifles from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Home Defense and Competitive Shooting Act of 2021, proposes to remove short-barreled rifles from the definition of "firearms" under the National Firearms Act. This means that short-barreled rifles would no longer be subject to the same registration and licensing requirements as other firearms regulated under that Act. The bill also eliminates the disparate treatment of short-barreled rifles used for lawful purposes, preempts certain state laws that impose additional taxes or requirements on short-barreled rifles, and requires the Attorney General to destroy existing records related to the registration and transfer of these types of rifles.
