ATF Will NO LONGER Enforce Suppressor Registration!

The ATF announced major changes to how it will enforce the National Fi****ms Act (NFA), effective October 9, 2026.

Under the new nationwide guidance, ATF will no longer enforce federal NFA registration or prior-approval requirements for suppressors, short-barreled ri**es (SBRs), short-barreled sh****ns (SBSs) and certain other fi***rms.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

In 2025, Congress reduced the federal NFA making and transfer tax from $200 to $0 for these items.

In August 2026, a federal judge in Texas ruled that key NFA requirements could no longer be justified under Congress's taxing power after the tax was eliminated.

The ruling initially protected only certain plaintiffs, members and customers.

The Department of Justice decided NOT to appeal. Now, ATF says its new nonenforcement policy will apply nationwide.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR GUN OWNERS?

👉 No enforced federal NFA registration: ATF will no longer enforce registration requirements for covered items.

👉 No $200 NFA tax stamp: Congress already eliminated the making and transfer tax for these items.

👉 No mandatory prior NFA approval: ATF will no longer enforce Form 1 or Form 4 approval requirements for covered items.

👉 Background checks still apply: Licensed dealers must follow applicable federal fi***rm sales laws, including Form 4473 and required background checks.

👉 State laws still matter: Some states prohibit these items or impose additional restrictions. The federal policy does NOT override state laws.

IMPORTANT: THE NFA HAS NOT BEEN REPEALED.

ATF is choosing not to enforce certain federal requirements. Congress has NOT removed those requirements from the law.

ATF will still accept voluntary registrations. Future legal or policy changes could also affect owners of unregistered NFA items.
