Suppressor rules rolled back; a historic win for gun-rights advocates follows a Texas court order taking effect after DOJ did not appeal.
A Texas court ruling has struck down parts of the 1934 National Firearms Act, allowing some silencers and other firearms to be bought and transferred without the usual federal registration or background checks. The decision is not a nationwide injunction, and the government has not yet appealed. Gun Owners of America says members are beginning transfers, while supporters call it the greatest Second Amendment win.
