NFA UPDATE - PLEASE READ

Updated September 3, 2026

We have already received TONS of phone calls and emails about the recent NFA issue. Please read the text below for our official statement regarding the issue. IMPORTANT NFA UPDATE WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS There has been a LOT of information - and misinformation - circulating regarding the August 5 federal court ruling involving the National Firearms Act. We want to explain where things currently stand and, more importantly, what this means for Diamond K Armory customers. First, let's make something very clear: Diamond K Armory is NOT anti-2A, and we are certainly NOT pro-NFA. We fully support the Second Amendment, and we are excited to see successful challenges to federal firearm restrictions. However, celebrating a major court victory and determining what we can legally do as an FFL/SOT today are two different things. THE RULING WHAT DID THE COURT ACTUALLY RULE? On August 5, a federal judge ruled that certain NFA registration and approval requirements cannot constitutionally be enforced as applied to NFA firearms for which Congress reduced the federal making and transfer tax to $0. That includes: Suppressors Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) Short-Barreled Shotguns (SBSs) Any Other Weapons (AOWs) This was a major victory. However, it does NOT mean that the entire National Firearms Act has been repealed. Machine guns and destructive devices were not given the same $0 tax treatment and are not covered by this portion of the ruling. The court also did not decide the case on Second Amendment grounds. The victory was based on Congress's enumerated taxing powers. IMPORTANT DISTINCTION WHO DOES THE RULING CURRENTLY PROTECT? This is probably the biggest source of confusion online. The court did NOT issue a nationwide injunction covering every gun owner and every FFL in America. The injunction currently protects the plaintiffs in the consolidated cases and, where applicable, their current and future members and customers. That includes organizations and businesses involved in the litigation, such as GOA and the Silencer Shop Foundation case plaintiffs. That distinction is extremely important. Simply living in Texas, owning firearms, or seeing that the seven-day stay expired does not automatically mean you are personally protected by the injunction. There are still important questions surrounding exactly how "members" and "customers" are treated in individual transactions and how dealers should implement the ruling. WHERE THINGS STAND THE SEVEN-DAY STAY HAS EXPIRED The court originally stayed its judgment for seven days to give the federal government an opportunity to seek appellate relief. That seven-day period has now expired. That means the injunction is significant right now for the parties and other persons/entities actually covered by it. However, the legal process may not be finished. The federal government may pursue appellate relief, and additional guidance concerning implementation is still developing. DIAMOND K ARMORY SO WHAT
