On August 5, we at Gun Owners of America won our "One Big Beautiful Lawsuit," against the registration requirements of the National Firearms Act at the district level in Texas.
This is definitely one of the biggest wins for gun rights - ever.

In GOA's case, a federal court just stuck down NFA registration for:
❌Suppressors
❌Short-Barreled Rifles
❌Short-Barreled Shotguns
GOA & our allies in Congress eliminated the tax.
The National Firearms Act of 1934 is now UNCONSTITUTIONAL as applied.
We're proud to have fought this fight, but it's not over yet. The Department of Justice still has the opportunity to appeal, and the court stayed its order for seven days to give them time to seek appellate review. Although as of the writing of this article, they have not done so.
Also, the Judge in this case limited protection to members of Gun Owners of America and other named plaintiffs.
We fought for a nationwide injunction, but the Judge did not grant it to us.
So, because of the ruling, we're encouraging everyone who would like protection from the National Firearms Act's registration requirements to become GOA members.
Since 1934
