Texas Firearm Deregulation Takes Effect After Justice Department Declines Appeal
A U.S. District Court ruling in Texas deregulating certain firearms took effect after the Justice Department missed a stay deadline. This decision ends the federal requirement to register suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and shotguns with the ATF. The Texas firearm ruling follows the administration's choice not to appeal a challenge to the National Firearms Act. Critics claim the Trump administration is dismantling century-old gun safety laws to favor firearm sales. Supporters argue the change represents a better approach to the firearms law dispute by reducing regulatory burdens.

Trump Administration Declines to Appeal National Firearms Act Ruling
The Justice Department allowed a court decision to stand that dismantled federal permitting requirements for specific firearms. This choice leaves the status of the National Firearms Act uncertain for gun owners. Representative Chip Roy praised the development, claiming the administration delivered a victory for the Second Amendment.
