Can we legalize suppressors now?

[flyfisher117]

Lol.

That is all. Carry on dreaming.

Not everyone is willing to uproot their families, leave family behind, leave good jobs, good climate, and geography. I’d love to leave but my wife does not. The other states don’t want us and honestly can’t blame em. Ca is the greatest state in the country but has the worst politics.

I did all of those things, yeah, it’s hard, but it’s 100% worth it.

I agree with you, it’s the best chunk of land in the country. Problem is the land is completely covered in shit now and it’s only getting worse.

Best decision we ever made for our family was to get out. Would highly recommend freeing yourself and stop making excuses.

Hmmmm I wonder why companies like SILENCERco, SILENCER shop, SILENCER central, etc… exist. And I’m pretty sure the technical term on .gov documents call them silencers.

If anything it seems like suppressor is slang more than anything but not a legal definition.

That’s what most my buddies in Europe call them.

I guess I should have told that guy that we aren’t in Europe, in America we call them silencers.

Why be so confrontational with people that enjoy the same sport you do?

It was just some dork who sat directly to my left at the range when there were 3 other open benches farther away or to my other side. He clearly had no self awareness.

You live in Alaska. Leave the range and get off “the bench” and go shoot for real

 

[Rotnguns]

What? Zero truth to that. I have plenty of threaded guns.

Oops, my mistake. Just checked and it's lots more complicated than I thought.

Trust me, as soon as the snow comes and I can head out on my machine to do some real shooting I will.

But yeah you’re right.

You can't legislate reality to your liking. The technically, scientifically correct term is suppressor. Silencer is the slang term.

Technically, if we are being pendantic, muffler is the scientifically correct term. Suppressor, well what does it suppress? Velocity? Flash? Intelligence? Free speech? You have to say sound suppressor or you are just using shorthanded slang. You can argue with reality, but that is a fools errand, or a politicians and between those two I'd rather be the fool than the insect.

From the view point of educating the general public, suppressor is also an ignorant choice, everyone is familiar with mufflers and their function as a polite tool to protect from noise, but generally not to make things stealthy and dangerous. The pontificating wokery of the "it is a suppressor" bit is old. The woke idea that changing a name is all that is needed is also old.

If anyone is thinking they are going to overturn the NFA the second week of January, you will be disappointed. We need to take a page from the other side's playbook and (incrementally) go after the low hanging fruit. Currently, that seems to be basically what is in the Hearing Protection Act: remove suppressors from the NFA and treat them like a firearm (FFL, 4473, etc). Call/email your senators and reps to voice your opinion.

As far as getting them legal in the deep blue states, good luck...

 

[GSPHUNTER]

Still illegal here in Illinois unfortunately

Same in Ca. States will pass their own laws concerning firearms.

 

[TaperPin]

We'll see, they had a chance in the first 2 years when Trump was president. They could not get it done. I hope they do it this time around. 4473 is way better than a tax stamp and a year wait.

I’m trying to remember anything they did in those 2 years? Forest service funding was cut and roads/trails are noticeably worse. They put half the country on paid vacation that ruined half the high country lakes.

Here I thought "Moderators" was what tactical timmys called muzzle brakes?

I like tactical timmy a lot better than what my father in law and I call those guys (Billy Jack).

I was under the odd impression that "moderators" was the term for ones that suppress the shot but not below 140db.

Man, around here everyone just calls them oil filters.

Obama had hus first 2 years to make big changes and he did nothing. Politicians do not want to fix their talking points.

What in the world. Have you heard of the Affordable Care Act?
