One Big Beautiful Lawsuit: The Latest Opinion Piece in Firearms News

Silencer Shop Leads the Charge to Challenge the NFA's Century-Long Grip on the Second Amendment

DENVER (October 30, 2025) - Available now on FirearmsNews.com, is an in-depth editorial on the National Firearms Act (NFA)'s long-standing grip on the Second Amendment in the piece, "One Big Beautiful Lawsuit," by News Field Editor Darwin Nercesian. The article explores the bold legal battle spearheaded by Silencer Shop and its allies to dismantle key provisions of the NFA of 1934. This law has long been criticized as a draconian infringement on Second Amendment rights.

Nercesian delves into the history of the NFA, its controversial origins as a tax law rather than a criminal statute, and the decades of erosion it has caused to Americans' constitutional freedoms. The article highlights the coalition of Second Amendment advocates-including Silencer Shop, Gun Owners of America (GOA), Palmetto State Armory (PSA), SilencerCo, B&T USA, and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition (FRAC)-who have united to challenge the NFA's registration and taxation schemes in federal court.

"The NFA has stood as a symbol of government overreach for nearly a century," said Darwin Nercesian. "This lawsuit, filed on the Fourth of July, is a declaration of independence from unconstitutional restrictions on silencers, short-barreled firearms, and any other weapons (AOWs). It's a fight for liberty, and Firearms News is committed to covering every step of this historic battle."

Firearms News encourages readers to stay informed and engaged as this lawsuit unfolds and is committed to covering this pivotal case in every issue throughout 2026.
