across the web.



WHAT IS THE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT (NFA)?



The National Firearms Act (NFA) is a Congressional act enacted in 1934 imposing
an excise tax (and national registry) for certain weapons. Those who buy, sell
or create these regulated items must apply for and pay tax on the sale of the
item, otherwise known as a “tax stamp”. The application procedure must be
completed through the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record under
the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(BATFE).

NFA REGULATED ITEMS



The National Firearms Act (NFA) regulates various weapons by imposing
registration requirements and a special tax on those items. However, most legal
gun owners in the United States can absolutely own these items, as long as the
individual state laws and application procedures are properly followed.
