“The National Firearms Act has been a weight around the neck of law-abiding gun owners for nearly a century,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association, in a press release. “With the elimination of the excise tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs through the One Big Beautiful Bill, our lawsuit challenges the NFA as an unconstitutional registry of now untaxed firearms. Common sense and the law are on our side, and we look forward to fighting on behalf of all Americans in Federal Court.”
On August 1, a coalition of gun rights groups challenged the century-old National Firearms Act (NFA) that many consider to be the most significant infringement of Second Amendment rights in modern times.
Plaintiffs Chris Brown, Allen Mayville, and Prime Protection are joined by the National Rifle Association of America (NRA), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and American Suppressor Association. Brown v. ATF was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
The suit also names as defendants Daniel P. Driscoll, in his official capacity as Acting Director of the ATF, the United States Department of Justice, and Pamela J. Bondi, in her official capacity as Attorney General of the United States.
