Limits on certain firearms, silencers lifted for some in Texas after judge order takes effect
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal court ruling has lifted nearly century-old restrictions on certain short-barrel firearms and silencers for specific gun groups and agencies in Texas and 14 other states. This change follows the Trump administration's decision not to appeal the ruling by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, who deemed the regulations unconstitutional after the tax on these items was revoked. Gun rights advocates hailed the decision as a significant victory for the Second Amendment, while gun control organizations expressed concerns about public safety. The Department of Justice is evaluating the ruling's implications but has not announced any plans to appeal.
