Attorney General Jackley Announces Federal Court Strikes Down Unconstitutional Firearm Restrictions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, August 11, 2026

PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney Marty Jackley commends a Texas U.S. Federal Court decision that ruled the National Firearms Act (NFA)’s registrational regulations of short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers and other firearms are no longer valid.

South Dakota was one of 14 states to challenge the regulations. The Federal District Court determined that the NFA’s required registration of the firearms were only valid as a means of collecting taxes. But once the taxes were eliminated in the Big Beautiful Bill, the Court ruled the regulations could no longer be enforced without taxing power.

“The federal government had used its taxing power to impose invasive registration mandates on law-abiding citizens,” said Attorney General Jackley. “This is a victory for law-abiding gunowners and the Second Amendment.”

Other states who joined the lawsuit are Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming,
