Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hearing Protection Act (HPA)?

How are suppressors regulated under federal law?

Suppressors are federally regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934. This requires a Form 4 application, a $200 transfer tax, a background check, and a waiting period for approval from the ATF.

What was the outcome of the Texas Suppressor Freedom lawsuit?

The initial ruling in the Texas Suppressor Freedom lawsuit favored the government, with the judge finding that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to challenge the NFA regulations on suppressors manufactured within Texas.

How do recent California court decisions impact suppressor regulations?

Recent California rulings deeming certain firearm restrictions unconstitutional are being used as persuasive precedent in other states, like Illinois, to argue that suppressor bans may also violate Second Amendment rights.
