[Kracken McGraw]

Make it a 4473 transfer and be done.

4473 Transfer

 

[brokeasajoke]

It should just be an accessory. But ........a transfer form would be another step in the right direction.

I like most of Colin's stuff.

There will always be a form for anything from the 1930's law unless that law is overturned. Suppressors, short barrel rifles, shotguns, class III, etc.

What I'd like to see is to get rid of the Class III tax as well. Forms requirements are fine, but, the tax is just another gov't over reach.

Then put a leash on the ATF so they can't act like storm troopers and it will complete the process. That was one agency I wish DOGE had deleted as well. Leave the enforcement to the FBI where it belongs.

I think I read that Virginia might try to put a 500 dollar tax on them. I try to keep up with the news from the US

Not surprising. Just read a blurb on what their new female governor is up to.

Make it something that is totally unregulated! You don't have to beg to get a new muffler for your car? Why should you need it for this? Most all of Europe has been OK with buying a suppressor over the counter, the blues would be screaming if they had any bad stories about unpapered suppressors killing someone, they aren't.

As I understand it , even anti gun Great Britain doesn't have any silencer registration. You can buy them at any hardware store. So I am told....

Yup. They turned deep blue. Bringing back the DEI nonsense to the schools and worse. They’re going after the “home schooled” to indoctrinate those kids.

^^^^^ That is what Ive been hearing for decades. I seem to remember a story I read here about a guy from Norway who hunted a lot had rifles that had suppressors.

There is in effect a registration, in that the silencer can only be purchased for a rifle on the owners registration card, and is then listed on the card along with the rifle. Handguns? Don't make me laugh.

My point is, they can walk into the store, buy the suppressor m, and walk out with it the same hour. UNLIKE Amerikkka..

I've seen this information confirmed from several sources.

Peter Jackson fought the fight in the UK to get suppressor laws changed. He had CG triggers before being sold to a US company. Lives in a beautiful place in southern Scotland. Good guy. Here's his very dated website.

We must defund the NRA because Wayne La Peirre was a bad person.
They're are people that hold on to this perception.
Yes ,he is gone. So is Joe Biden.
Its time to rebuild.

Maybe Laurie can reply to that.
“So I am told….” not much faith in ‘what I am told’

So it was just ONE individual ( a bad person) . Rebuild? Not on my dime.

Probably take a decade to reach the SCOTUS just like all other 2A related legislation being challenged.

 

[Downeast]

Virginia Senate has introduced a bill making them basically illegal. Hopefully it will be revised before it hits the floor. The way I read the bill it would make threaded barrels illegal!
