HR 9009 United States House · 119th Congress

Firearm Freedom Act of 2026

The Firearm Freedom Act of 2026 removes the federal ban on the possession and transfer of machineguns by repealing a specific section of the United States Code. This change would allow individuals who currently possess these weapons to keep them and would enable the legal transfer of machineguns between private citizens. The bill directly affects existing owners of machineguns and would alter the rules governing how these firearms can be sold or given away. By eliminating this restriction, the legislation aims to expand the types of firearms that are legally transferable under federal law.
