Representative Eric Burlison will introduce a bill to repeal the National Firearms Act, a federal law regulating certain firearm types. Burlison aims to eliminate the NFA's restrictions on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and machine guns.
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) will introduce legislation Monday to repeal the National Firearms Act (1934).The National Firearms Act (NFA) is the federal law that controls the sale, possession, and transfer of firearms and/or accessories often referred to as Class III. These include suppressors, short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, machine guns, etc.
In light of the NFA, a law-abiding gun owner who wants a suppressor must submit photographs and fingerprints, pay a $200 federal tax, submit to an extended background check, and have his accessory registered with the ATF. The same cumbersome process applies for a short-barreled shotgun or rifle, and for a machine gun, too. Burlison is bypassing quick fixes on Monday, heading straight to the source by seeking to repeal the NFA, a gun control law which was passed in response to gun violence carried out by mobsters and gangsters during the prohibition era. He is also still focused on abolishing the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives). On November 25, 2024, Breitbart NewsBurlison said, “For several decades they’ve been a disaster agency been violating the Second Amendment.”, a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News. He is the political analyst for Armed American Radio, a member of Gun Owners of America, a Pulsar Night Vision pro-staffer, and the director of global marketing for Lone Star Hunts. He was a Visiting Fellow at the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal in 2010 and has a Ph.D. in Military History.
