Supreme Court Denial Order Upholds Unanimous Suppressor & NFA Decision! What Happens Now?

The Supreme Court denied review in US v. Peterson, a case challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA) as applied to suppressors. The Fifth Circuit's ruling, which upheld the NFA by likening it to a 'shall issue' licensing scheme, now stands as precedent in that circuit. This decision has significant implications for future Second Amendment challenges to firearms regulations, potentially allowing broader government control over protected arms under the guise of objective licensing.

The 11th Circuit is now rehearing arguments in light of this precedent, with judges appearing skeptical of the government's broad claims of immunity for operational failures.
