Court Defines Second Amendment Limits on Gun Parts

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals establishes that the Second Amendment does not extend protections to certain gun parts, specifically sound suppressors. In a landmark case, the court upheld the conviction of George Peterson, who was found in possession of an unregistered suppressor while operating a gun dealership from his home.

Chief Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod emphasized that while suppressors work with firearms, they are merely accessories and not essential components of a weapon. This ruling contrasts with previous arguments asserting suppressors qualify as “arms” under the Second Amendment, providing a definitive stance on firearm accessory regulation. Peterson’s conviction reinforces the legal boundaries within which firearms and their components are protected, underscoring that the right to bear arms does not include every related accessory.
