The main purpose of this legislative text is to repeal a specific law known as the Hughes Amendment, which is part of the Firearm Owners' Protection Act. The Hughes Amendment currently restricts the possession and transfer of machine guns, effectively banning civilian ownership of these firearms manufactured after May 19, 1986. The objective of this proposed legislation, titled the Firearm Freedom Act of 2026, is to remove these restrictions, allowing for greater access to machine guns for individuals.
