On August 5, 2026, in our lawsuit Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF, a federal court ordered the ATF to stop enforcing NFA registration against Silencer Shop customers. No Form 4. No federal registry entry. No waiting on the government to bless a purchase you already paid for. You buy your suppressor, pass the same background check you'd pass for a rifle, and take it home that day.
And to be clear about what the real news is: Congress already made the tax stamp free back in January. That was never the hard part. The hard part was the registration, and the registration is what just fell. This is the biggest hit the NFA has taken since it was written in 1934 — and Silencer Shop Foundation is the one that landed it.
