Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main goal of the lawsuit challenging NFA restrictions?

The primary goal is to remove remaining National Firearms Act (NFA) restrictions on items like suppressors and short-barreled rifles (SBRs), arguing that current regulations exceed Congress's enumerated powers and infringe on Second Amendment rights.

Which states have joined the lawsuit against the ATF's NFA regulations?

Fifteen states have joined the lawsuit as named plaintiffs: Texas, Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

What legal arguments are being used to challenge the NFA?

The lawsuit argues that NFA provisions exceed Congress's enumerated powers and infringe on Second Amendment rights, particularly in light of the *Bruen* decision, which suggests that regulations on common-use arms are presumptively unconstitutional without historical precedent.

What was the ATF's attempt to stall the case, and what was the outcome?

The ATF attempted to stall the case by claiming a government shutdown prevented them from filing a response, requesting an indefinite hold. However, Judge Hendrix denied this request, granting them only one additional week to file their response.
