Title: Silencers
Post by: alfsauve on August 14, 2015, 02:19:07 PM
Thank you. Thank you.   As I've said several times, while "suppressor" may be the current term,  both the patent as well as the NFA refer to them as "silencers."   Of course the great debate will continue regardless.

Nicely done.


The chances of overturning any part of NFA are probably not too great though.  Not to stray too far into political group, but we're always fighting a defense battles at the national level.   I don't hold out hope for any change to NFA in my lifetime.

Like Michael has stated in one of his Podcasts, this was my all-time-favorite Gun Stories episode.  Well done, indeed!

Can we play the word game against the ATF? I mean right now I have a "suppressor" sitting at my FFL just waiting for the Form 4. Since it is in fact a "suppressor" and not a "silencer", can I just go pick it up now?  ;D

Good try JC, but regardless of what you call it, the legal definition of what you have is "silencer"

So says you! Why don't we ask the Cyclone what IT identifies as?

Oh well then Cyclone better not come to NC. 



If I had an M2 I know it would identify as a mild an meek 20ga upland game o/u shotgun.
