Texas House passes bill to legalize short-barrel firearms, or "sawed-off" Shotguns

Yeah, I've been following this story with some interest.  Seems that Federal law would still control - that is, you have to get a Form 1 etc for an SBR or SBS.

Still, every little legislative win is good.  The more that firearms are in the law as "common use" items, the easier it will be to get other bigger changes done later.

This may be in relation to the proposed SHORT Act which in the unlikely event of its passage would remove SBRs and SBSs from the Registry.  Since the current owners would no longer be protected by federal law some states will immediately outlaw them and others like Texas will declare them legal.  Unintended consequences are a bitch
