A federal appeals court recently blocked an attempt by gun owners and the Texas attorney general to allow the approval of a state gun law that deregulates gun silencers in the state. In other words, gun silencers will remain regulated in Texas for the time being.
The Louisiana-based U.S. Appeals Court for the Fifth District on June 21 affirmed a lower court’s decision that dismissed the case for lack of standing, which is a legal term used to describe whether an individual’s complaint can be heard and whether injury can be connected to a defendant’s conduct or a government policy.
