"The forthcoming lawsuit, described by advocates as the 'One Big Beautiful Lawsuit,' will argue that the NFA’s remaining provisions, including registration mandates and transfer rules, are now unconstitutional following passage of the Trump-backed 'one big, beautiful bill.'"
"Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, the Fi****ms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Palmetto State Armory, Silencer Shop, B&T USA, and others say the Supreme Court only upheld the NFA in 1937 as a tax law, and that legal basis no longer applies after Congress reduced the $200 tax to zero dollars."
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to dismantle one of the most abusive federal gun control laws on the books,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s senior vice president. “With the tax struck down by Congress, the rest of the NFA is standing on air.”
"Although the One Big Beautiful Bill Act fell short of fully repealing the NFA, GOA said it plans to use the courts to finish what Congress did not. The group said it pushed hard for a full repeal during the reconciliation process but was blocked by unelected bureaucrats and reluctant Republican lawmakers."
"The lawsuits are expected to mark the most serious legal challenge to the NFA in nearly a century and come as the Trump administration continues to reshape federal gun policy through the Justice Department and legislative efforts."
