What is going on with the NFA?

About this video

Colion breaks down a recent federal ruling that he argues punched a hole in the National Firearms Act (NFA) based on a tax argument rather than Second Amendment grounds. He explains that the injunction only applies to specific plaintiffs, their members, and customers—not all Americans—creating what he describes as a confusing two-tier system where some buyers can purchase suppressors and SBRs without NFA registration while others cannot. Colion walks through the 60-day appeal window, warns viewers to verify their coverage status with dealers, and argues that the NFA registration system was never really about taxation but about control.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that a federal judge issued an injunction blocking NFA enforcement, but only for specific plaintiffs, organizational members, customers, and certain state agencies—not all citizens or residents of plaintiff states.
• According to Colion, the DOJ missed its initial 7-day window to appeal but still has 60 days total to challenge the ruling, leaving the gun community in legal limbo.
• Colion argues this creates a two-tier system where GOA members or customers of plaintiff companies might legally purchase NFA items without registration, while others at the same store would commit felonies doing the same thing, and he advises viewers to consult their dealers rather than act on internet summaries.
