Because today we’ve got some huge news out of South Dakota that the mainstream media doesn’t want to talk about. South Dakota Governor Larry Rodin has officially signed a bill that removes firearm suppressors from the state’s definition of controlled weapons. Let that sink in. For years, decades actually, anti-gun politicians have lumped suppressors in with machine guns, short-barreled firearms, and other heavily restricted items, pretending they’re tools of criminals. Well, South Dakota just said enough. That’s nonsense. Under the new law, suppressors are no longer treated as inherently dangerous or criminal devices under state law.

They are no longer categorized as controlled weapons simply for existing. Now this is a massive policy shift and it’s rooted in reality, not Hollywood, not gun control propaganda, and not emotional fear mongering. Suppressors, despite what movies and cable news tell you, do not make guns silent. They reduce noise to safer levels, they protect hearing, they reduce recoil, and sometimes they can improve accuracy. In other words, they make firearms safer for law-abiding citizens. And here’s the part that the gun control crowd hates admitting. Criminals almost never use suppressors. According to federal data, suppressors are among the least used firearms accessories in violent crime, and yet for decades they’ve been treated as if they are tools of assassins.

South Dakota just shattered that lie. This law amends South Dakota’s criminal statutes to explicitly remove suppressors from the list of controlled weapons. Previously, just possessing a controlled weapon could carry felony charges unless you fell into some narrow exceptions. Now, suppressors are no longer criminalized by default, and that’s a critical distinction. The law still punishes criminal misuse, as it should, but it no longer treats peaceful gun owners like criminals just for owning a lawful accessory. That is what constitutional governance looks like.

Now, let’s talk about the Constitution for a moment. The Second Amendment protects the right to keep bear arms, not just bear neutered firearms stripped of modern accessories. Under the Supreme Court’s text history and tradition test, arms in common lawful use are protected. Suppressors are. They are lawfully owned by hundreds of thousands of Americans, especially after January 1st this year. Now they’re used for hunting, sports shooting, and home defense.

They’re regulated more heavily than machine guns, despite being less dangerous, much less dangerous. Now that regulatory scheme has never made constitutional sense, and South Dakota didn’t just fix a state law, it aligned its statutes with the actual meaning of the Second Amendment. And this move should make ATF leadership very uncomfortable. Why? Because states are increasingly refusing to play along with federal fear-based narratives. First, states moved on to constitutional carry. Then, magazine bans started falling. The assault weapon bans started collapsing in court. Now, states are reexamining suppressor laws. And that puts enormous pressure on the National Firearms Act, which was built on outdated assumptions and political panic, not evidence.

South Dakota is saying, we don’t buy it anymore. And other states, they’re watching closely. Make no mistake, this is part of a larger trend. States are increasingly asserting that law-abiding gun owners are not the problem, accessories don’t commit crimes, and criminal law should punish actions, not objects. This is exactly how constitutional rights are restored, not overnight, but one principled decision at a time. And every time a state pushes back, it weakens the foundation of federal overreach. Don’t be surprised if other red states follow South Dakota’s lead. Courts begin scrutinizing suppressor restrictions more closely, or the NFA itself faces renewed constitutional challenges.

The momentum is shifting, and it’s shifting because gun owners didn’t back down. Now, I want to hear from you. Do you think suppressors should have ever been regulated like machine guns in the first place? Do you think this puts pressure on Congress to finally revisit the National Firearms Act?
