Texas judge rules that law regulating firearm suppressors and some guns can't be enforced

On Wednesday, a federal judge in Texas ruled that a 1930s federal law regulating firearm suppressors and certain dangerous firearms cannot be enforced. The decision was issued in Austin, Texas, following legal challenges surrounding the decades-old statutes.

The struck-down legislation historically imposed strict federal regulations and taxes on firearm suppressors and specific categories of weapons. The ruling comes more than a year after President Donald Trump signed legislation addressing related firearm taxes.
