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 short-barrel firearms and silencers for certain groups in Texas and other states. The decision follows the Trump administration's choice not to appeal a ruling by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, who deemed the regulations unconstitutional after the repeal of a related tax. Gun rights advocates hailed this as a significant victory for the Second Amendment, while gun control organizations expressed concerns about public safety. The ruling affects individuals and groups involved in the lawsuit, as well as state agencies in the 15 states that joined the case.
