The Justice Department moved Friday to allow more people to buy firearm suppressors, also known as silencers, short-barreled rifles and certain other guns without registering them with the federal government after a court struck down provisions of a key law.
The Trump administration announced the enforcement policy changes after a Texas judge in August ruled the permitting process was unconstitutional.
The judge's ruling was limited to the parties involved in that case, but the Justice Department said Friday it would no longer enforce the registration requirements more broadly.
