Why are gun rights organizations suing the ATF regarding NFA regulations?

Gun rights organizations, including GOA, FRAC, Silencer Shop, Palmetto State Armory, and SilencerCo, have filed lawsuits against the ATF. They argue that with the NFA tax reduced to $0, the National Firearms Act lacks a valid constitutional basis for regulating items like suppressors and SBRs.
