Some gun-rights groups previously credited legislation that streamlined the ATF\u2019s process, with the processing time for Form 4s falling to nine days, according to the ATF website.<\/p>\n<p> The National Shooting Sports Foundation reported in June that at least 6.1 million suppressors were privately-owned. <strong>(RELATED: DOJ Waves White Flag, Ends Nine Decades Of Red Tape Over Suppressors In Victory For Gun Owners)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ATF Director Robert Cekada touted in a July post on X that the average processing time for the four most commonly filed ATF forms had dropped to 18 days since fiscal year 2021. <\/p>\n<p>In a follow-up post, Cekada noted that even as wait times had decreased, the volume of forms being filed with the agency had gone up from under 485,700 in fiscal year 2021 to over 1.84 million through three-quarters of fiscal year 2026.

If it wasn\u2019t clear before, it is now: silencers are in common use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The figures were released a day before United States District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, a Trump appointee, granted a motion for summary judgement from attorneys representing the Silencer Shop Foundation on August 5.
