TEXAS JUDGE RULES THAT LAW REGULATING FIREARM SUPPRESSORS AND SOME GUNS CAN’T BE ENFORCED

A federal judge in Texas has struck down a 1930s law regulating firearm suppressors and certain guns, according to the Associated Press. The ruling, made by U.S. District Judge James Hendrix, could allow firearm owners to purchase these items without registration or background checks. This decision comes over a year after President Donald Trump signed a bill eliminating taxes on these items.

The law in question is part of the National Firearms Act, which was passed in response to concerns about mafia violence. According to the Associated Press, groups that support gun restrictions have criticized the ruling as reckless, arguing that the law still has important safety protections. The judge's decision was based on the fact that there are no longer taxes under the act, and therefore, the regulation should not continue either.

The National Firearms Act was passed in the 1930s to regulate firearm suppressors and certain guns, and this ruling could have significant implications for gun ownership and regulation in the United States.
