NRA and 2A Allies Announce NFA Lawsuit

Following the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—which eliminates the National Firearms Act of 1934’s (NFA) excise tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs—the National Rifle Association issued a joint statement along with the American Suppressor Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, and Second Amendment Foundation announcing plans to file “a new strategic lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of the NFA in Federal Court.”

The elimination of the punitive and unconstitutional tax on these NFA items is a significant legislative victory for NRA members and gun owners across the country. But the unconstitutional registration requirement for the items—which has historically been justified as necessary to prove that the tax had been paid—remains intact. The NRA and its allies will aim to eliminate this registration scheme in their new lawsuit, while continuing to fight for legislation dismantling the NFA entirely.
