🚨 THE ATF JUST CHANGED THE GAME ON SUPPRESSORS & SBRs 🚨
As of today (Oct. 9), the ATF says it will no longer enforce NFA approval and registration requirements for:
✅ Suppressors
✅ Short-barreled ri**es
✅ Short-barreled sh****ns
✅ AOWs ("any other weapons")
Federally, that means no Form 4, no tax stamp, no waiting on approval. Dealers run a 4473 and a background check, same as any other gun.
What did NOT change:
❌ Machine guns and destructive devices. Still full NFA.
❌ State law. This is the big one for us.
MICHIGAN FOLKS, READ THIS PART 👇
Michigan law still ties suppressors and short barrels to federal registration. The ATF's own guidance says it can't tell you whether an unregistered item counts as legal under state law, and it tells everyone to check with state authorities.
Until Michigan gives a clear answer, our advice is simple: stick with the Form 4. It's $0, the ATF is still accepting them, and recent eForm approvals have been running days, not months.
One more thing. The ATF says this is an enforcement policy, not a repeal. It can be reversed, and there's no guaranteed way to register an item later. Registered is the safe play.
Is this a huge win? Absolutely. Is it the Wild West? Not in Michigan. Not yet.

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****ms.

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.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
ATF Releases NFA guidance in response to the Texas NFA lawsuit:

"Effective October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA before making or transferring short-barreled ri**es, short-barreled sh****ns, silencers, and “any other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items to be registered in the National Fi****ms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the litigation."

I was 23, in the Marines, on the r***e range, qualifying the morning of 9/11/2001, when we found out that morning what was happening, 6am in Hawaii, 6 hours behind NY. We heard on the radio in our cars in the parking lot, it was noon in NY city. The planes have already hit the towers.
That day, that week, that month, everything changed. And my first born was born the following December.
I personally didnt know anyone who lost their lives in that attack, but it was an attack on our soil, and those were Americans who died. I felt many emotions that week, watching the news, waiting and ready to go when called.
I will always remember. I will always pause on this day and remember that people lost their lives, to someone's deceitful, hateful, and careless beliefs against the United States of America.
Look around, look at your families, look at your community, and look at ourselves, and remember that no matter what beliefs and issues we have between one another, we are Americans, United, and Strong.
If you took the time to read this, thank you for doing so.
I will always remember.

Twenty-five years is a long time. A new generation grew up only knowing 9/11 as a date in a history book, not a gut punch that stopped the whole country cold.
Did we forget the firefighters walking up the stairs everyone else was running down? The passengers on Flight 93 who chose to fight? The blood drive lines that wrapped around the block?
Neighbors who agreed on nothing, checking on each other anyway. A country that stood shoulder to shoulder, no red, no blue, just American.
You don't need a tragedy to show up for the people around you. We just have to choose it instead of waiting for the worst day of our lives to remind us.
Never forget isn't a slogan. It's a decision.
