No Form 4, No Wait: Historic Suppressor Transfers Begin in Texas

Summary

Historic suppressor transfers occurred in Leander, Texas, on August 13, following a permanent injunction issued by Judge Hendrix in the Northern District of Texas. This injunction, effective at 12:01 a.m. CT, August 13, allows for the transfer of suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs without a Form 4, ATF approval, or NFA registration for current and future members of the plaintiff groups and 15 plaintiff states, because Congress had previously reduced the making and transfer taxes for these items to zero.
