Gun groups ask court to overturn 'perilous precedent' in suppressor registration case

A coalition of pro-gun groups has filed a brief with a federal appeals court, asking them to reconsider a ruling upholding the registration requirement for suppressors under the National Firearms Act.

The National Rifle Association, American Suppressor Association, and Independence Institute filed an amicus brief in an effort to convince the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to consider an en banc review of a case involving an unregistered suppressor and overturn what it calls a “perilous precedent.”
