Bill overview
This bill, the PISTOL Act, changes how the government defines rifles and pistols under federal law. Specifically, it removes pistols equipped with rear braces or attachments from being classified as rifles under the National Firearms Act. It also directs the Department of Justice to update regulations to clarify the definition of a pistol, ensuring that the presence of these braces doesn’t automatically change its classification.
