National Firearms Act

Read a random definition: justifiable

A quick definition of National Firearms Act:

The National Firearms Act is a law made by the government in 1934 that controls how certain types of guns and weapons are made, owned, and sold. It was created to stop people from having dangerous weapons like machine guns and sawn-off shotguns. The law has been changed over time to include more types of guns and weapons, like grenades and land mines.

A more thorough explanation:

The National Firearms Act is a federal law that was passed in 1934. It regulates the manufacture, possession, and transfer of certain types of firearms and other weapons.

The original purpose of the act was to ban weapons commonly used by gangsters, such as machine guns and sawn-off shotguns. Over time, the act has been expanded to cover most rifles and handguns, as well as "destructive devices" like grenades and land mines.

For example, if someone wants to own a machine gun or a grenade, they must comply with the National Firearms Act. This means they must register the weapon with the government, pay a tax, and undergo a background check.

The National Firearms Act is important because it helps to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of criminals and other people who should not have them. It also helps to ensure that people who do own these types of weapons are responsible and law-abiding.
