Story summary
- U.S. District Judge James Hendrix struck down a 1930s National Firearms Act regulation on suppressors and certain firearms.
- The ruling follows President Donald Trump’s 2025 tax bill that removed the $200 tax on those items.
- It could let owners buy suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns without registration and drop a background-check layer.
- Gun-rights groups hailed the decision as a victory and said it may prompt a Supreme Court appeal.
