You Won't Believe The Mistake That Caused Short Barreled Rifles To Be Regulated by NFA

About this video

Colion Noir explains how short-barreled rifles became regulated under the National Firearms Act of 1934 due to what he characterizes as a congressional mistake. According to Colion, the original bill didn’t include short-barreled rifles, but Congressman Harold Knutson from Minnesota requested their inclusion during committee hearings, despite Attorney General Homer Cummings indicating it was unnecessary. Colion argues this error is why Americans now must pay a $200 tax stamp and wait months to legally own rifles with barrels under 16 inches.

Key takeaways
