Burlison’s first filed bill focuses on firearms

Thursday, February 9, 2023 at 12:00 AM

New 7th District Congressman Eric Burlison has filed his first piece of legislation in Washington, D.C. and the bill is focused on gun rights.

Burlison filed the “Repeal the NFA Act,” which would remove the National Firearms Act of 1934 which was the first federal law in the United States aimed at placing restrictions on firearm ownership.

“The federal government has used the National Firearms Act for almost a century to violate law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights,” Burlison said. “The recent ATF pistol brace rule is just another example of these blatant attacks on the constitutional rights of Americans. The ATF-NFA sham needs to end.”
