A federal judge in Texas dismissed a challenge to NFA suppressor laws, ruling that neither the individual plaintiffs nor the state of Texas had legal standing to sue. The judge cited Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution, stating that a dislike of a federal law does not grant standing to challenge it. This decision means the case did not proceed to address the constitutionality of the NFA's registration and taxation requirements for suppressors.
