Silencer Shop Puts ATF on Notice: No-Form-4 Suppressor Transfers Set for Midnight

Summary

Silencer Shop and Gun Owners of America (GOA) notified the DOJ and ATF of two planned commercial suppressor transfers on August 13 at midnight Central Time, without requiring NFA Form 4s or registration. This action challenges federal enforcement, citing a permanent injunction from U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, which barred NFA registration and approval provisions against plaintiffs and their customers due to the NFA's lack of taxing power justification. The transfers involve Brandon Herrera and Texas state Rep. Wes Virdell.
