Judge Strikes Down 1930s Firearm Law | San Francisco News

Published 3 days ago
Description

A Texas federal judge has struck down a 1930s-era law requiring registration and a $200 tax on firearm suppressors and other restricted weapons — now that the tax is gone, the judge ruled the regulations are obsolete. This could mean suppressors and similar firearms become easier to obtain without government tracking, though background checks remain. Gun rights supporters see it as a major victory for Second Amendment freedoms, while public safety advocates warn it’s a dangerous rollback that weakens oversight of high-risk weapons. The ATF hasn’t commented, and legal battles are expected to continue.
