The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) believes three recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions could dramatically strengthen its ongoing legal fight against what’s left of the National Firearms Act (NFA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve been wondering why suppressor lawsuits are suddenly back in the spotlight, here’s the brass tacks version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Two
The Spiro is a low-back-pressure suppressor offering from TBAC that is also built to take heavy abuse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Congress eliminated the $200 tax on suppressors and short-barreled rifles through the One Big Beautiful Bill<\/a>. That tax had long been one of the key pillars supporting the NFA’s regulation of those items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAF argues that once Congress removed the tax, it also knocked out the constitutional foundation for keeping the NFA’s registration requirements in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the organization says three Supreme Court decisions handed down this summer give that argument even more momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first is Landor<\/em>, which SAF says reinforces the idea that Congress can’t stretch its taxing power beyond its constitutional limits. In plain English, if there’s no tax anymore, SAF argues there’s much less justification for maintaining a federal registration scheme built around that tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other two cases: Wolford<\/em> and Hemani<\/em>, deal with the Second Amendment<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to SAF, those rulings make it even clearer that suppressors and short-barreled rifles qualify as protected “arms” under the Constitution. That shifts the burden to the government to prove those restrictions are consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAF Senior Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack said the new rulings allow the organization to better explain “why the remaining registration scheme left in the NFA lacks constitutional authority and is a direct violation of Americans’ Second Amendment rights.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAF founder Alan Gottlieb<\/a> made a similar point, saying the Supreme Court’s recent opinions are “binding precedent” that should strengthen the organization’s cases challenging the remaining NFA registration requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those arguments are now being presented in three federal lawsuits: Brown v. ATF<\/em>, Jensen v. ATF<\/em>, and Roberts v. ATF<\/em>. All of which seek to eliminate the remaining federal registration requirements for suppressors and short-barreled firearms now that the tax itself has been repealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this means the NFA is about to disappear overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are still active cases working their way through the federal courts. And judges will ultimately decide whether SAF’s constitutional arguments carry<\/a> the day. But there’s little doubt the legal landscape has changed since the Supreme Court’s latest Second Amendment<\/a> rulings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If SAF is right, the next major battle over suppressors and short-barreled rifles may no longer be about the tax. It’ll be about whether the federal government can keep requiring Americans to register firearms after the very tax that justified those regulations is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
