Within days of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) issuing its regulation for pistol braces, a senator from Kansas has reintroduced a bill to protect the legal status of firearms and rein in some of the ATF’s power.
“The SHORT Act will protect Americans from the anti-Second Amendment gun registry that the ATF is abusing the National Firearms Act to create,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) wrote in a statement announcing his bill, the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today Act (SHORT Act).
