## Provisions PRIA read

- Narrower federal firearm definitions: benefit, medium. If enacted, this bill would narrow the National Firearms Act's list of regulated items. It would exclude short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns from the NFA's enumerated firearms. It would also say shotgun shells and weapons made to fire them are not "destructive devices." The exclusion…
- States can't tax or register guns: benefit, medium. If enacted, states and localities could not enforce special taxes (other than general sales or use taxes) or marking, recordkeeping, or registration rules for short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, or similar weapons that affect interstate commerce. The bill would treat federal Chapter 44…
- No $5 federal transfer tax: benefit, low. If enacted, transfers of firearms that count as "any other weapon" would no longer have a $5 federal transfer tax. The change would apply to calendar quarters beginning more than 90 days after enactment. You would save $5 for each affected transfer you make.
