Texas court order kicks in striking federal rules on silencers and certain guns
Americas4 sources2 countries15m ago
A federal court order in Texas took effect on Thursday, striking down existing regulations on firearm suppressors and certain types of guns. The ruling became enforceable after the U.S. Justice Department failed to file an appeal within the seven-day deadline established by the presiding judge.
As a result of the order, the previous federal restrictions on the purchase of these items are no longer in effect. The development marks a significant shift in the regulatory landscape for firearm accessories, following the expiration of the government's window to contest the judicial decision.
