Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main argument behind the new lawsuit challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA)?

The primary argument is that the NFA's constitutional basis, derived from Congress's taxing power, has collapsed now that the $200 tax on suppressors and SBRs has been eliminated. Plaintiffs contend the regulatory scheme can no longer stand without this tax justification.

Where was the new lawsuit against the NFA filed, and who is supporting it?

The new lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Kentucky and is supported by organizations like the Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC). It includes individual gun owners, dealers, and advocacy groups as plaintiffs.

How does the new NFA lawsuit aim to reach the Supreme Court?

The lawsuit is strategically filed in the 6th Circuit to create a circuit split with ongoing NFA challenges in the 5th Circuit. A circuit split increases the likelihood that the U.S. Supreme Court will grant certiorari and review the case.

What relief are the plaintiffs seeking in the NFA lawsuit?

The plaintiffs are seeking a declaration that the NFA requirements for untaxed firearms exceed Congress's enumerated powers. They also want a declaration that NFA regulations violate the Second Amendment and a permanent injunction against the enforcement of the NFA.
