Rep. Roy Introduces Bill to Close Loophole in National Firearms Act<\/a><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON\u2014On Tuesday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), alongside more than twenty colleagues, introduced the No Backdoor Gun Control Act. This legislation would remove \u201cAny Other Weapon\u201d (AOW) from the definition of a firearm under the National Firearms Act (NFA), ensuring that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) could not use the AOW section to violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights. This is especially important should legislation that removes short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns (SBRs, SBSs) from the NFA be enacted. Closing this loophole is an important step forward in reining in the ATF.<\/p>\n

\u201cBearing arms in self-defense is a human right. It is evident from the ATF\u2019s behavior that, under Joe Biden\u2019s Department of Justice, the agency is hellbent on attacking the Second Amendment through every means at its disposal. I am grateful for my colleagues\u2019 work in Congress to remove short-barreled rifles and shotguns (SBRs, SBSs) from regulation under the National Firearms Act. However, should that legislation be successful in doing so, the NFA\u2019s \u2018Any Other Weapon\u2019 provision would still allow an anti-gun administration to use the ATF to unilaterally regulate these firearms, and, more importantly, target their owners. The No Backdoor Gun Control Act would close this notable loophole and help protect law-abiding gun owners,\u201d Rep. Roy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal government has no business taxing and registering privately owned firearms with a catch-all term like \u201cAny Other Weapon\u201d or AOW. With the Biden Administration weaponizing definitions from the draconian National Firearms Act of 1934 to ban as many as 40,000,000 lawfully acquired guns like AR-15s, Rep. Chip Roy\u2019s repeal of federal AOW regulations could not come at a better time,\u201d said Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs, Gun Owners of America.<\/p>\n
