AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would repeal subsection (o) of Section 922 of title 18 of the U.S. Code, known as the Hughes Amendment to the Firearm Owners' Protection Act. That subsection makes it a federal crime to possess or transfer a machinegun, with limited exceptions. Removing it would end this federal ban on owning or transferring machineguns. The bill does not change other parts of federal firearms law.
