This bill matters because it changes how certain non-deadly devices are treated under federal law, potentially making them more affordable and easier for people to buy. If passed, it could encourage the development and use of less-lethal options for self-defense or other situations, as they would no longer face the same taxes and strict regulations as traditional firearms.
Without this bill, these devices would continue to be subject to the existing federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition, and some might even fall under the stricter rules of the National Firearms Act, which could limit their availability and increase their cost. This bill aims to update federal law to reflect advancements in technology for non-deadly weapons, potentially giving individuals more choices for personal safety that are not designed to be deadly.
