A federal appeals court’s Thursday ruling could force the Supreme Court to decide if suppressors and magazines fall under the definition of “arms.”
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled Thursday in Comeaux v. United States that suppressors fall under the category of “arms” and are protected under the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment Foundation noted the “circuit split,” when two appellate circuits disagree on similar cases, in a series of posts on X, while SAF Director of Legal Research and Education Konstadinos Moros specifically mentioned the Ninth Circuit case Duncan v. Bonta.
“There is now a circuit split on whether suppressors are arms,” Moros posted. “This is of critical importance to those of us in states that totally ban them. While everyone else is arguing about whether registration is constitutional, we can’t even register them under the NFA if we wanted to!”

When a “circuit split” occurs, the Supreme Court tends to be more likely to hear the case to resolve the disagreement among the lower courts. The Fifth Circuit ruling decisively rejected the Justice Department’s arguments that suppressers were not arms in the unanimous ruling.

Hey, if the US Supreme Court finds the time, they might want to read the Second Amendment. It might answer all their questions.
If not, how was the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms claiming authority?
From the article: ...could force the Supreme Court to decide if suppressors and magazines fall under the definition of “arms.”
If not, how was the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms claiming authority?
The fifth has always been the best (with a few hiccups along the way).
Hint: A gun without a magazine is not a firearm, but a paperweight. And the 2A isn’t about keeping and bearing paperweights.
Why is the Trump DOJ still carrying on the Communist Party's 2A agenda???
You don’t really believe that it’s Trump’s DOJ, do you?
Which raises a second question, “Why hasn’t the ATF been abolished?”
“ Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms”
Mandatory items for a Saturday night party in Texas!
we really must find a way to restore the USA Constitition
but until we can, the anti=suppressor regulations have to be among history’s most stupid bureaucrappic nonsense
In rural Indiana, that’s the name of the local general store.

Good one! I live in Austin. Someday, I hope to move to Texas.
Specifically, I am attempting to convince my wife for life to move to a 27.5 acre place right outside of Marble Falls.
I hope that the marble doesn’t fall on you. LOL
“ Specifically, I am attempting to convince my wife for life to move to a 27.5 acre place right outside of Marble Falls.”
Wonderful place!!
It can be a single-shot firearm.
But I know what you mean.
Obligatory “ATF should be a convenience store” assertion.
We went exurban ATL 5 years ago. My county went Trump ~69% - Harris 30% in 2024. It was a welcome change from our inner ring majority Dem county prior.
I love being out where we are now! You just have to plan trips into town better, and have a good pantry and well stocked refrigerators and freezers. And be able to cook for yourself some instead of going out all the time.
