Kansas law in detail
- Unrestricted (in-state) NFA — Kansas passed the Second Amendment Protection Act claiming to exempt in-state manufactured NFA items from federal regulation. In practice, federal ATF enforcement still applies, so a tax stamp is still required.
The federal rule
Suppressors are regulated under the National Firearms Act. The federal tax on a suppressor dropped from $200 to $0 on January 1, 2026, but you still need an approved ATF Form 4 and registration before taking possession. State law can ban them outright even when federal law allows them.
