Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the DOJ's statement on suppressors?

The Department of Justice has stated in a court case that suppressors have the legal protections of firearms. This is a landmark acknowledgment that Second Amendment privileges, such as 'shall not be infringed,' apply to suppressors, which has never happened before.

How do concealed carry permits affect NICS checks now?

In states like Michigan and Alabama, possessing a valid concealed carry permit now satisfies the federal background check requirement when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer. This means no additional NICS check is performed; you simply fill out the ATF Form 4473.

What changes have been made to ATF's FFL enforcement policy?

The ATF has ended the enhanced regulatory enforcement policy that previously targeted firearms dealers, which often led to FFL revocation for minor clerical errors. The new policy emphasizes firearm traceability and public safety while deemphasizing immaterial paperwork errors.

What are the planned updates for NFA forms?

Future updates include simplifying ATF Form 20, changing it from an approval-based system to a notice-based system for transporting certain firearms across state lines. Additionally, electronic signatures will be allowed on NFA forms, enhancing the convenience of the eFile system.
