This bill removed SBR's from regulation under the NFA and treat them the same way that long guns are treated from a legal standpoint, which one has to pass a background check and be 18 or older to purchase instead of having to go through a long and painful process lasting over 6 months long and paying a $200 tax stamp and registration to get an SBR (any long gun witn a stock that has a barrel shorter than 16" or an overall length of less than 26 inches). I'd love to see it passed, while arm braces have mostly removed the problem by classifying it as a pistol, not requiring a tax stamp or wait time, but you still need to be 21 and while it's legal to shoulder it now and use the brace as a stock, they could change it back at any moment. This will also remove a vengeful partner perhaps from framing a gun owner for having an illegal SBR by attaching a short barreled upper to a rifle reciever and ATF will make sure any evidence that it was them is scrapped and you get charged, this will remove that. What would you vote in regards to this bill?

I like them a lot, but to be practical in my mind, a specialty round is needed, a great example is 300 Blackout because the powder burns at a much faster rate, allowing you to have a shorter barrel while maintaining a lot more power than a.223 and it doesn't make as much of a fireball due to the unburned powder igniting out the barrel. I think the restrictions for them are really stupid considering how easy it is to break them, all one has to do is buy a sbr upper and attach it to a lower and BAM, you now have an SBR, but you need to get it registered and wait 6 months as well as pay a $200 tax stamp for it. Luckily, arm braces have eliminated this by legally defining it as a pistol, thus no registration, tax stamp, and most importantly no 6 month wait time, and you can use the brace as a stock which is still currently legal. Overall, I love the idea of an SBR due to a nice handy dandy 300 Blackout with an 8.5" barrel being able to be stashed in places that a full length AR can't fit while retaining a lot of power, but these days many people seem to discount my point that they're wasting a lot of powder with a short.223 and a 300 Blackout is a much better round for an SBR build. What's your take on short barreled rifles?
