What does NFA stand for?

NFA stands for the National Firearms Act, which is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1934 that regulates the sale, possession, and transfer of certain types of firearms and other weapons, such as machine guns and short-barreled rifles. It requires individuals and entities to register these items with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and pay a tax for their transfer. The act aims to reduce crime by imposing stricter controls on more dangerous firearms.
