A bill was introduced Wednesday to eliminate taxes on machine guns and destructive devices under the National Firearms Act. The legislation, titled the Freedom from Taxes Act or HR 8921, would set those taxes to zero. The bill follows a 2025 reconciliation measure that removed taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and other weapons.
That law left registration requirements in place for items covered by the 1934 National Firearms Act.

Gun rights groups have filed lawsuits seeking to remove registration requirements for items covered under the National Firearms Act. The new bill would extend the tax elimination to machine guns and destructive devices.
The bill could be added to a future reconciliation package.
