Bill overview
This bill, the Home Defense and Competitive Shooting Act of 2019, modifies existing laws related to short-barreled rifles. It removes these rifles from the definition of firearms under the National Firearms Act, allowing for their transportation across state lines and treating owners as compliant with registration requirements if those requirements are based on the National Firearms Act. The bill also preempts state and local laws that impose taxes or recordkeeping requirements on short-barreled rifles, and directs the Department of Justice to destroy records related to their registration.
