John,
The Department of Justice — under Attorney General Pam Bondi — is defending one of the most outdated and unconstitutional gun control laws in America: the National Firearms Act of 1934.
In the Peterson case before the Fifth Circuit, DOJ attorneys admitted that suppressors are protected by the Second Amendment, but they’re still fighting to uphold the NFA’s registration scheme and restrictions.
Suppressors are used by millions of law-abiding Americans for hearing protection, safety, and recreation. The ATF’s own data shows fewer than 50 federal prosecutions a year involving unregistered suppressors. By any measure, they are in common lawful use, and that means they’re protected.
But Bondi’s DOJ is using the same arguments as California anti-gun bureaucrats, calling suppressors “specially adaptable to criminal misuse.” That’s not constitutional law. It’s gun control propaganda.
President Trump promised to restore our Second Amendment rights. It’s time for his DOJ to follow through.
