Veterans’ Heritage Firearms Act

It’s back:

A Utah congressman has reintroduced a bill allowing some veterans to register firearms that they collected as war souvenirs.

Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, has reintroduced the Veterans’ Heritage Firearms Act, a bill that would allow weapons brought into the U.S. by service members from 1934 to Oct. 1, 1968, to be registered and legally kept by the service member or immediate family members.

It would not apply to weapons brought back by service members since 1968, something generally prohibited by U.S. military policy.
