When the Department of Justice decided not to appeal the Jensen decision on suppressors and other NFA firearms, it was unclear how much it would affect the firearms industry.
After the Friday release of guidance by the ATF, the answer by the industry was swift and definitive; the sales of suppressors skyrocketed to a point where most manufacturers have sold out most of their near-term allotments and won’t be able to replenish stocks until Q-1 of 2027, if not longer.
“Every major manufacturer in the United States is out of inventory,” one prominent manufacturer said. “It will take us 90 to 120 days to ramp back up.
The Texas judge’s August decision pulled cans, SBRs, SBSs and AOWs out of regulation under the National Firearms Act which was passed in the 1930s, and imposed a tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and other guns.
When the Trump administration eliminated the $200 transfer tax under the Big Beautiful Bill. That, combined with drastically lower Form 4 processing times. Then Friday’s guidance applying Jensen nationwide really opened the floodgates.
Some manufacturers saw the handwriting on the wall and were prepared for the potential onslaught.
“We came in very prepared,” Andy Eff of Banish Suppressors said while exhibiting at the National Sporting Goods Wholesalers Annual Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, on Wednesday.
Calling his sales this week at the Expo “SUBSTANTIAL,” Banish, a South Dakota suppressor maker, will need an additional two weeks to fulfill new orders, even with manufacturing running 24 hours a day.
According to others at the NASGW Expo, it’s not just suppressors and short-barrel rifles jumping off the shelves, but also related accessories, even including cleaning kits.
I hope this follows the end of the AWB pattern.
Through the roof sales, new manufacturers, everyone pumping out as much product as possible followed by a glut and low, low fire sale prices.
Until we get them out of the FFL system, none of this helps me at all. I live in the once wonderful, and now hellscape, of CA. Unless or until I can walk into a store, buy one with nothing more than a credit card, and walk out the door, nothing will help me.
” I live in the once wonderful, and now hellscape, of CA. Unless or until I can walk into a store, buy one with nothing more than a credit card, and walk out the door, nothing will help me.”
I *HIGHLY* you will ever see that, thanks to the BATF insisting they will be treated like a standard firearm purchase.
Meaning, a 4473 will need to be filled out and a background check complected for the transfer to be completed. Another problem will be, California requires home-built firearms to be registered.
That will be the next hill to climb, eliminating mandatory registration requirements…
I hope they are giving out voter registration cards with each purchase, because this can all go away if the democraps take legislative control after the mid-terms…and likely will.
Ok, winning Jensen was great. The ATF ‘guidance’ was great. BUT ALL OF IT WAS NOT ABOUT SUPRESSORS! It was also about SBRs, SBSs and AOWs yet, most if not all, of the articles we see that mention Jensen and the ATF guidance seems to have a primary focus of suppressors.
Heck, even of the states in which a form 4 was required for suppressors and SBRs, SBSs and AOWs, some of them are only addressing form 4’s for suppressors because of the ‘suppressor’ industry lobbying them. For example, the Mississippi AG just came out and said the state laws requiring form 4’s for suppressors would no longer be enforced and is addressing the state legislature to change only the law for suppressors, but did not address the requirement that SBRs must still ‘follow applicable law’ and the NFA is still law and requires a form 4 even if the ATF is not enforcing it which means in Mississippi a form 4 is still required for an SBR which means Jensen and the ATF guidance is still not effective in the state.
Here’s the deal.
I understand the suppressor industry celebrating and wanting to see the freedom from the very unconstitutional NFA. BUT ALL OF IT WAS NOT ABOUT SUPRESSORS! If it was not for the 2A, there would have been no Jensen or ATF guidance even though the NFA was a tax law because the reason the NFA existed to begin with was congress used taxing power to get around the second amendment and they even said so when they enacted the NFA. The 2A worked to prevent an abuse of power, but then that power abused an actual power it did have to get its way and It was an intentional and knowing infringement on the 2A by an abuse of taxing power of a constitutional right which is something the founders did not write into the constitution and it was never intended that rights which belong to the people could be controlled by government using other ‘powers’.
So all you people in the industry screaming to these states ‘SUPRESSORS NOW!’ – you need to be screaming ‘SUPRESSORS and SBRs, and SBSs, and AOWs Now!’ – its not about suppressors, its about a significant win for the Second Amendment, its about undoing an intentional government infringement on constitutional rights, its about putting things back where they belong and were intended to be, its about the very thing the ‘people’ including those in the firearms industry rely on for freedom and liberty namely the Constitution and constitutional rights. And although there is a ways to go, we can not let this stagnate at suppressors only because if we do that’s going to be something used as an excuse and argument when they say in a future court battle “Hey look, even those states that did away with the form 4 requirement for suppressors did not do away with it for SBR’s, and SBS, and AOW so surely these states agree with us.” You suppressor industry people need to be pushing the whole package of ‘Suppressors, and SBRs, and SBSs, and AOWs’ but more than that and more importantly you need to be pushing ‘keep your hands off the rights of the people’ to the states and federal government.

“Same ID to Vote as to Buy a Gun???” DEAL!
“A viral post challenged gun owners to accept the ‘same ID rules’ for firearms and voting, expecting everyone on the right side of the internet to go silent. But once you look at federal law, ATF Form 4473, FBI NICS background checks, and state regulations, that challenge looks very different.
In this video, Paul breaks down what buying a firearm at a gun counter actually entails under federal statutes (18 U.S.C. § 922) and ATF regulations (27 CFR § 478)—and what would happen if those exact same standards were applied at the polling place.”

This Democrat’s Final Words About Guns Left Everyone Confused.
“A Democrat running for Fayette County Council got one final opportunity to speak to voters on local television.
Her closing message?
‘We have guns too.’
That one sentence raises a bigger question: Why did she feel the need to say it?
And what does supporting the Second Amendment actually mean when politicians start explaining which gun restrictions they support?
In this video, Colion Noir reacts to the viral interview, breaks down the difference between owning firearms and supporting gun rights, and revisits Beto O’Rourke’s infamous AR-15 and AK-47 confiscation statement.
Because when a politician says, ‘I support the Second Amendment, but…’ the most revealing part might be what comes next.”

[note: in the interview this left winger told a few lies, that’s what left wingers do, they make stuff up and lie and believe their own made up stuff and lies in their inherent confirmation bias, but the most notable lie and made up thing here is her claim that the sheriffs nephew threatened to blow her head off. It never happened, the sheriff doesn’t have nephews. And this dem looks like she was having a good time at happy hour and a local bar and suddenly remembered ‘hey, I have a TV interview’ and showed up drunk. But more importantly she exposes what democrats think – they want to take your guns away and leave you defenseless, then want to use their guns on you, and that pretty much encapsulates what the democrats want, a violent tyranny to do away with conservatives to emplace a marx*ist-soc* ialists commu* nist regime.]

ENTRAPMENT?! “ATF Told Me I Could”—Would That Hold Up in Court?
“Are you at risk of ATF entrapment? We analyze if following government guidance on NFA items offers real protection from federal prosecution.
New concerns are emerging about whether relying on official agency statements will actually hold up in court. If the government changes its stance, gun owners who acted in good faith may find themselves in the crosshairs of the legal system. This video breaks down the potential risks when federal agencies shift their policies and what that means for your compliance strategy.
We examine the legal implications of these shifting directives and how they impact your constitutional gun rights. Understanding the difference between agency guidance and established law is critical for anyone navigating the current regulatory environment. We discuss the potential for entrapment and why relying solely on ATF communications could be a dangerous gamble for law-abiding citizens.”

We know the left wingers have been targeting conservatives for a while by collecting databases and lists full of conservatives names, addresses, and family members. They do it by a variety of means from public sources to social media profiles to secret collection by government entities to left wing states governments simply giving it to them. If you purchased a gun and have other indicators, if you purchased a bible and have other indicators, if you attended church and have other indicators, if you were seen in public as a conservative rally or campaign speaker appearance, if you spoke against gender ideology at a school board meeting, if you wear certain clothing…you can rest assured your personal information probably appears in a left wing database somewhere as a ‘conservative’ they would like to persecute or even kill. ANTIFA/TRANTIFA has also revealed they do this for the eventual day they decide to en-mass start murdering conservatives, members of the DSA communists have revealed they do this also for the eventual day of the ‘violent revolution’ they plan to take over the United States and emplace their communist regime with the help of the Democrat party. The Biden tyranny did it too, and collectively millions of conservatives were censored and persecuted and spied on – and this is not even considering the collection the Biden admin made from those registering under the NFA or purchasing a gun during the Biden tyranny. And now…
