Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This bill repeals Chapter 53 of the Internal Revenue Code — the National Firearms Act (NFA) — and removes its entry from the subtitle E table of chapters. In practice, it would eliminate the federal tax, registration, and regulatory structure created by the NFA that currently covers certain firearms and devices (for example, machineguns, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, silencers/suppressors, and similar items).
Progressives emphasize public-safety and loss of registration and traceability
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill accomplishes a clear, narrow substantive objective — repealing Chapter 53 (the National Firearms Act) and the related table entry — with crisp but minimal operative text.

Direct repeal of a controversial federal firearms regime with no compromise or funding offsets is unlikely to attract broad, bipartisan support.
