Summary
On August 13, 2026, Gun Owners of America (GOA) members Brandon Herrera and Wes Virdell made history by lawfully acquiring suppressors without complying with NFA registration requirements at Silencer Shop's Leander, Texas storefront. This marks the first time since 1934 such transfers occurred, following a federal court order enjoining ATF enforcement due to GOA's 'One Big Beautiful Lawsuit' and the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act'.
