SBR Decriminalization Headed to the Governor!

Guy Fawkes 2025.06.02 2 min read

Texas is one signature away from a major Second Amendment win. Senate Bill 1596 would decriminalize short-barreled firearms under state law—but what does that mean for federal enforcement? Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor break it down.

In this video:
* What does S.B. 1596 actually do?
* Does this mean SBRs are now legal in Texas?
* How does this bill interact with federal NFA regulations?
* Could state law enforcement still cooperate with federal agencies?
* Will the Governor sign it—and when would it take effect?

📜 Bill Text – S.B. No. 1596 by Sen. Hagenbuch:
* Removes the definition of “short-barreled firearm” from Texas law
* Eliminates state-level criminal penalties for possession
