EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Eric Burlison, House Republicans Introduce Legislation To Repeal National Firearms Act

Republican Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison and a group of House Republicans introduced legislation Wednesday to repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA).

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the legislation, titled the “Repeal the NFA Act.” The bill focuses on repealing the NFA, which was the first federal law to impose limitations on gun ownership. The NFA requires Americans to pay a $200 tax, register their firearms and undergo an application process in order to purchase certain firearms and accessories.

“The federal government has used the National Firearms Act for almost a century to violate law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights. The recent ATF [the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] pistol brace rule is just another example of these blatant attacks on the constitutional rights of Americans. The ATF-NFA sham needs to end,” Burlison told the Caller before introducing the bill.
