Survival is step one. We're step two.
Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Leslie Cross break down what the latest NFA ruling actually means for Texas gun owners—and why Texas being a plaintiff in the case matters.
Does the ruling protect individual Texans, or does Texas’ involvement mainly affect state agencies and law enforcement? What happens when Texas law still references the federal NFA registry? And what about weapons like zip guns, AOWs, SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors?
In this episode, Emily and Leslie discuss:
• What it means that Texas was a plaintiff in the NFA case• How Texas agencies and law enforcement are affected by federal registration requirements• Texas Penal Code §46.05 and prohibited weapons• Why zip guns create an interesting issue under Texas law• The federal definition of an “Any Other Weapon” (AOW)• Where SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors currently stand under Texas law• Why suppressors were removed from the Texas prohibited-weapons law in 2021• What changed for SBRs and SBSs in 2025• What Texas gun owners need to understand before assuming the NFA ruling changes everything
Texas Penal Code §46.05:https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.46.htm#46.05
Federal NFA definitions – 26 U.S.C. §5845:https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/5845
