Representative Andrew Clyde, a Republican from Georgia, and Senator Roger Marshall, a Republican from Kansas, submitted a bill to legalize short-barreled rifles and shotguns.
The legislation, called the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today Act, also known as the SHORT Act, would remove “the unconstitutional taxation, registration, and regulation” of the short-barreled weapons under the National Firearms Act, a primary federal gun control law.
“The Biden-Harris Administration dangerously weaponized the draconian National Firearms Act,” Clyde said in a statement. “Yet the American people overwhelmingly rejected the Left’s unconstitutional tactics and backdoor gun control in November. It’s now time for Congress to use this mandate to protect Americans’ unalienable, constitutional right to keep and bear arms.”
