Why the model tagged it this way: The bill repeals the NFA firearm transfer tax (IRC §5811) and makes conforming changes, reducing the financial barrier to transferring regulated firearms such as suppressors, short-barreled rifles/shotguns, and machine guns. This expands the firearms axis by removing a restriction on purchase, ownership, and transfer. The rule of construction in Sec. 3 is a neutral clarification that does not alter the tax repeal or add new restrictions.
