SUPPRESSOR DEADLINE TODAY! What does that mean???
Today is the 7th day after the NFA Registration requirements for Silencers, SBR and SBS was struck down by US District Court. More importantly, it is the Deadline for the ATF/DOJ to respond to the action of the court.
Nearly 50 members of Congress signed a letter yesterday (Aug 11) addressed to A.G. Todd Blanche urging the DOJ to NOT respond to the Court's ruling. They also request that the DOJ should "immediately apply the court's ruling nationwide and set it in regulation through rulemaking", meaning that the ruling would apply to all people nationwide, and not a select few who were involved with the lawsuit, Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF. Here is a copy of the letter.https://clyde.house.gov/uploadedfiles/clyde_blancheletter_nfaruling_aug26.pdf
Should the DOJ not respond to the action of the court, Starting on on August 13, 2026, Suppressors, SBR & SBS would be processed with a form-4473 just like a standard fi***rm, without any delays or extra background checks or registration (fingerprints, wait times, etc). This means, in Texas, you can walk in, pick out your suppressor, run your background and take the suppressor home the same day (with 4473 background approval).
Native Outdoors is on the short list with the ATF to be informed of any guidance they will be providing to FFL dealers to make sure we abide by the law, today, tomorrow and in the future.
