JUDGE: SHORT-BARRELED RIFLE, SUPPRESSOR NFA REGISTRATION SCHEME UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Summary

A U.S. District Court judge for the Northern District of Texas ruled the National Firearms Act (NFA) registration scheme for short-barreled rifles and suppressors unconstitutional in the case of Jensen v. ATF. Supported by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), this decision argues that without the $200 NFA tax, which was eliminated by the 'One Big Beautiful Bill', the remaining registration requirement lacks a constitutional basis. SAF plans to leverage this precedent in other NFA challenges nationwide.
