## Resource

This episode breaks down a major court decision that removed ATF authority to enforce Form 4 registration for many NFA items (except machine guns and destructive devices), and what that means for suppressors, short-barreled guns, dealers, and owners. Hosts explain the practical fallout — dealer confusion, state-level differences, co-plaintiff protections (Silencer Shop, TSRA), and likely market changes — and offer simple next steps and a short timeline for how the situation may resolve. https://10thwhiskey.com/ Enter dearshooter at checkout for 15% off https://www.lucidoptics.com/ https://www.wyotac.com/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed here are our own and may not represent those of the companies we represent, or any entity affiliated to it.
