DOJ follows Trump’s orders not to appeal NFA ruling, allowing silencers and dangerous weapons to become easily accessible

The statement argues that leaving the ruling in place will make especially dangerous firearms accessories and weapons easier to obtain. It is a clear gun-control opinion response centered on the risks of reduced federal regulation under the NFA.
