Today, The American Suppressor Association (ASA), National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced the filing of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). The case, Jensen v. ATF, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
This complaint asserts that, with the removal of the excise tax on constitutionally protected arms like suppressors and short-barreled rifles, the NFA registration regime can no longer be upheld as a legal exercise of Congress’s taxing power.
