Major Suppressor Change Takes Effect — What It Means for North Dakota

A significant change involving suppressors and the National Fi****ms Act took effect overnight.

On August 5, a federal judge ruled in the consolidated Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF and Jensen v. ATF cases that the federal government could not continue enforcing certain NFA registration requirements for suppressors and other affected fi****ms against the covered plaintiffs after Congress reduced the associated NFA tax to $0. The judgment was stayed for seven days, and that stay has now expired.

North Dakota was among the states involved in the litigation. However, North Dakota also has its own law requiring compliance with the National Fi****ms Act. Because of that, North Dakotans should not assume they can walk into a dealer today and purchase a suppressor without the existing NFA process.

That could potentially change with action by the North Dakota Legislature. With changes to state law, suppressors could potentially be purchased through a process similar to other fi****ms through a federally licensed dealer, without the additional NFA registration process.

Hunt Fish Protect fully supports the legal use of suppressors for hearing protection, recoil reduction and exercising Second Amendment rights. I personally encountered many hunters using suppressors during my years in the field and had no issues with their lawful use.

Yes, someone can use a suppressor while committing a crime, but they're already breaking the law by doing so. We support the legal and responsible use of these tools by hunters, shooters and firearm owners.

This situation is developing quickly, and court action, federal guidance or changes in state law could alter where things stand.
