AI Summary
This bill, the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today (SHORT) Act, proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from the definition of "firearms" for the purposes of the National Firearms Act. It also eliminates disparate treatment of these weapons when used for lawful purposes, requires that persons who acquire or possess them in accordance with federal law be treated as meeting any state or local registration or licensing requirements, and preempts state or local taxes and other requirements on these weapons.
