- Texas judge rules that law regulating firearm suppressors and some guns can’t be enforced
A Texas federal judge ruled that a 1930s law regulating firearm suppressors and dangerous guns cannot be enforced, citing the elimination of taxes on these items under a bill signed by President Donald Trump. The decision allows firearm owners to purchase such items without registration and removes a layer of background checks, sparking reactions from gun rights groups and opponents.
