Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Jensen v. ATF lawsuit about?

The Jensen v. ATF lawsuit challenges the National Firearms Act (NFA) regulations on suppressors and Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs). It argues that since HR1 reduced the NFA tax to $0, the constitutional basis for these regulations is no longer valid, as the tax was the primary justification for federal oversight.

Who are the plaintiffs in the Jensen v. ATF case?

The plaintiffs in the Jensen v. ATF lawsuit include Gun Owners of America (GOA), Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition (FRAC), Silencer Shop, Palmetto State Armory, SilencerCo, and 15 states. They are seeking to end NFA restrictions quickly through a motion for summary judgment.

What is the significance of HR1 in this lawsuit?

HR1, referred to as 'The Big Beautiful Bill,' reduced the NFA tax from $200 to $0. This reduction is central to the lawsuit's argument that without a tax, the federal government lacks the constitutional authority to regulate items like suppressors and SBRs under the NFA.
