YOUR GUN RIGHTS ARE WORTH A
 SHHH

Everything we do is about fighting for your rights.

Here's the latest..

One year ago, the Silencer Shop Foundation filed a landmark lawsuit challenging the federal government’s continued enforcement of the National Firearms Act against silencers, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs after Congress reduced the tax on those items to $0.

The fight is still moving forward. DOJ and ATF continue to defend the NFA, but SSF has not backed down. Our position is simple: if the government has long defended the NFA as a tax law, then a $0 tax raises serious constitutional questions about whether the law can continue to be enforced against these items.

This case is about removing unnecessary federal barriers between law-abiding Americans and their Second Amendment rights. The Silencer Shop Foundation will continue fighting to make lawful NFA ownership easier, faster, and more accessible for responsible gun owners across the country.

The Silencer Shop Foundation supports ATF’s proposed rule to reduce unnecessary fingerprint requirements for NFA trust applicants. For years, fingerprinting has added friction, confusion, and delay to an already burdensome process for law-abiding Americans who want to own regulated NFA items.

This proposal is a meaningful step toward a simpler, more efficient system. It recognizes that responsible trust applicants should not be forced through redundant requirements that do little to improve public safety, but do make the process harder for customers, dealers, and the broader Second Amendment industry.

Silencer Shop and the Silencer Shop Foundation have long pushed for common-sense reforms that make lawful NFA ownership easier, faster, and more accessible. This proposed rule shows that progress is possible, and SSF will continue fighting to remove unnecessary barriers between Americans and their Second Amendment rights.

In United States v. Comeaux, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit became the first federal appeals court to definitively hold that silencers are "Arms" protected by the Second Amendment. Rather than dismissing suppressors as mere accessories, the court asked the right question — does a silencer facilitate lawful armed conduct, including self-defense? — and answered yes.

The decision isn't a complete victory. The Fifth Circuit still upheld the National Firearms Act, leaving registration and federal permission in place. But by confirming that suppressors are constitutionally protected, the ruling shifts the legal landscape: it creates a potential circuit split that could carry the question to the Supreme Court, and strengthens challenges to the NFA and to state-level silencer bans nationwide.

This is exactly the fight the Silencer Shop Foundation exists to lead. We're currently pressing a case in Texas federal court challenging the NFA — and Comeaux moves the law decisively in the right direction. The fight continues, and your support powers it.

You believe in lawful gun ownership, individual liberty, and the fearless exercise of your Second Amendment rights. We believe that bad laws — outdated, overbearing, or just plain unfair — shouldn’t stand in your way. Since our founding, the Silencer Shop Foundation has stood up for that belief: funding bold lawsuits, shaping smarter legislation, and powering the leadership that fights to restore freedom to gun owners.

We care about eliminating burdens. We care about cutting through the red tape, ending the overreach, and replacing bureaucracy with liberty. Every donor, every voice, every action strengthens the mission. When your rights are under attack, we go on offense.

You bring the support. We’ll bring the courtroom fights, the legislative campaigns, and the relentless drive to protect our freedom.

A shutdown is supposed to be about spending bills and budget fights. But if you’re a gun owner, the ripple effects are personal.

When ATF examiners are sent home, NFA forms stop moving. Your place in line is frozen. And while eForms stay online — you can still submit applications — nothing actually gets reviewed until Congress decides to get its act together.

Think about how insane that is. We’re talking about a constitutional right, the right to keep and bear arms, being slowed or suspended not because of anything you did wrong, but because bureaucrats are arguing over budget numbers (funded by your tax dollars).

That’s not freedom. That’s dysfunction.
