ATF suspends some firearm registration rules

The ATF announced that gun owners are no longer required to register or seek approval to manufacture or transfer silencers, short-barreled rifles, shotguns, and "Any Other Weapons," following a federal court ruling invalidating key parts of the NFA. This change stems from a court decision in Texas that found the NFA's registration and transfer provisions unconstitutional after Congress eliminated related taxes. The policy update applies nationwide, though background checks and other Gun Control Act requirements remain in place.
