The Trump administration’s decision to let a Texas gun ruling take effect without an emergency appeal opened a limited path for people covered by the order to acquire suppressors and certain other firearms without the burdensome requirements of going through the National Firearms Act’s registration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives preapproval process.

“That decision not to appeal is a great one,” Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s director of federal affairs, told the Washington Examiner after the emergency-appeal deadline passed this week. Johnston’s group initially filed the lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas on Independence Day last year.
