Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Jensen v. ATF lawsuit about?

The Jensen v. ATF lawsuit challenges the National Firearms Act (NFA), arguing that the elimination of the $200 tax by HR1 removes the constitutional basis for NFA registration and transfer requirements, making them unconstitutional.

How did HR1 impact the NFA?

HR1, a significant legislative bill, reduced the making and transfer tax on suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs from $200 to $0. This action has been central to legal challenges arguing the NFA's taxing power foundation is now invalid.

What are the DOJ's main arguments in defense of the NFA?

The DOJ defends the NFA by citing the Special Occupational Tax (SOT) on manufacturers and dealers, the Commerce Clause, and arguing that any unconstitutional applications should not be nationwide. They also claim the registration system helps enforce SOT.

Why are plaintiffs objecting to the DOJ's new evidence?

Plaintiffs object because the DOJ is attempting to submit new evidence after the reply brief deadline, which they argue violates Northern District of Texas rules and is an attempt to bolster a weak case after seeing counter-arguments.
