Survival is step one. We’re step two.
Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Leslie Cross discuss a major NFA update following Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF. Is ATF actually honoring the Texas federal court’s ruling? Can covered gun owners really purchase suppressors using a Form 4473 instead of the traditional NFA Form 4 process? And what are ATF inspectors doing when they encounter dealers already making these transfers?
We now have some of the strongest real-world evidence yet.
Multiple FFLs that reportedly transferred suppressors on Form 4473 have now gone through ATF inspections—and according to reports, those inspections resulted in zero violations attributable to those transfers. Richard and Leslie break down how some dealers are handling their NFA records and A&D books, what inspectors appear to be accepting, and why these inspections matter.
Then they examine a new statement from ATF Director Robert Cekada, who says ATF is complying with the court’s order and is working on formal guidance for manufacturers, FFLs, and gun owners. ATF also says it is considering both federal and state law—and specifically looking at how to avoid creating legal problems under a future administration.
But there is still one major issue hanging over everything: the government’s potential appeal. The current consensus puts that possible deadline around October 5, 2026.
So where does that leave covered gun owners and FFLs today? While formal ATF guidance still has not arrived, the situation appears considerably less uncertain than it did immediately after the court’s stay expired.
Richard and Leslie break down what we know, what we still don’t know, and the practical takeaway for gun owners following this rapidly developing NFA case.
