The Second Amendment Foundation just filed a motion for summary judgment in Roberts v. ATF, one of the three SAF-supported lawsuits that attack the unconstitutional NFA registration scheme on silencers and short-barreled rifles.
This is the closest we have come to ending more than 90 years of infringement on your Second Amendment rights!
For decades, the federal government justified the NFA registry by claiming it was a tax. When President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and eliminated the $200 NFA tax on silencers and SBRs, the entire constitutional foundation for the registry collapsed.
No tax. No taxing power. No registry.
As SAF Senior Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack put it: "Congress lacks the authority to continue requiring the registration of protected arms under the NFA. The Court has everything they need to put this case to bed."
SAF is not fighting this on one front. We are a named plaintiff in Brown v. ATF, and we are backing two more challenges, Jensen v. ATF and Roberts v. ATF.
Three lawsuits. Three shots to end the registry for good.
The gun-grabbing lobby is terrified. They know that if any one of these cases lands, their entire "register or be a felon" scheme falls apart, in your state and every other state.
As SAF founder Alan M. Gottlieb said: "We have the best opportunity in almost a century to end the registration scheme... SAF is seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
