WASHINGTON, D.C. – On February 28^th, ATF summarily denied 847 Form 1 applications to make a suppressor because they believed the applicants were using solvent trap kits. On March 3^rd, ATF notified every applicant with a pending Form 1 suppressor application that they will be required to provide pictures and descriptions of all parts and components that will be used to make the suppressor, or their application will be disapproved.

Despite previously approving thousands of Form 1 applications for individuals and legal entities that have used these kits in recent years, it seems ATF has now decided to change course without any public explanation or justification. What is clear is that ATF has unilaterally decided that the National Firearms Act (NFA) applies to these kits, and therefore any applicant applying to make a suppressor using one might be guilty of a crime.

Rather than publicly explaining their rationale and giving Form 1 applicants time to adjust, ATF has resorted to sending threatening emails to law-abiding Americans who are trying to follow the law – the same way ATF understood the law before March 1, 2022. This type of behind-closed-door rulemaking has to stop.

Simply put, it’s time to insist that ATF stop treating the upstanding citizens it regulates like criminals. It’s time for ATF rulemaking to occur in the open. And it’s time to remove suppressors from the NFA so that law-abiding Americans can protect their hearing while exercising their Second Amendment rights without tax or fear of government retribution.
