Judge Strikes Down 1930s Firearm Rules | Irvine News
Description
A Texas federal judge has struck down a 1930s law regulating firearm suppressors and short-barreled rifles, effectively removing registration and extra background checks for these weapons — a major win for gun rights advocates who see it as a Second Amendment victory. The ruling, delivered by Judge James Hendrix, argues that since the $200 tax tied to the law was eliminated last year, the regulatory framework no longer holds up under constitutional grounds. While federal background checks remain in place, the removal of mandatory local law enforcement notification could weaken oversight. Gun control groups warn this erodes public safety measures, while over 6.4 million suppressors are already registered in the U.S.
