Trump DOJ Drops Appeal In Historic Ruling Striking Down Suppressor Regulations

Clear Facts

• The Department of Justice formally notified Congress that it will not appeal a court ruling ending paperwork and registration requirements for gun suppressors.
• United States District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, a Trump appointee, struck down the National Firearms Act requirements on suppressors on August 5.
• The ruling eliminates federal red tape for law-abiding citizens seeking to own firearm suppressors.

The Department of Justice made clear that the federal government will not fight the decision that removed unnecessary restrictions on Americans who follow the law.

Judge Hendrix’s ruling recognized that the National Firearms Act’s registration and tax requirements on suppressors were an unconstitutional burden on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.

The decision represents a significant victory for constitutional rights and removes barriers that have long hindered responsible firearm owners from protecting their hearing during lawful use of firearms.

“The Department of Justice formally notified Congress Thursday that it will not appeal a ruling that ended paperwork and registration requirements for suppressors.”

This move by the Trump administration reflects a commitment to reducing federal overreach and upholding the constitutional rights of American citizens.
