Sooo, Is the nfa dead?!

I’m wondering, hypothetically of course. Let’s say the timer expires and it’s now 12:01am August 13th. Does that actually mean SBR, SBS, AOW and Suppressors would be available to be transacted without the traditional Form 1 / 4 and simply via a 4473? Given they’re not banned by the state you reside in of course.

I think the forms/registration is the issue in the first place. My understanding, though limited, is yes. Only a 4473 would be required.

Just talked to my FFL and he follows the court rulings and all legalities with anything 2a and he said they should fall under the 4473 also

That was my thought as well. However, I’ve read that the 4473 is not setup for transacting suppressors for background checks without a Form 4 in tow… Same with SBR / SBS, etc. The system is currently not programmed to allow for it. So it would require a overhaul of sorts?

Im sure there would be a compliance deadline like there was for the tax stamp cost. Good things never happen overnight though.

The government has no leg to stand on. It is now no longer about tax so no Form 1/4, it has a serial number so only a 4473.
They are like a child that is screaming in a Toys-R-Us aisle that won’t let go of the toy.

Thanks Karacal.

First they have to not appeal it. Let’s see what the feds do

But I don’t need to fill out a form to buy a light, so why the suppressor? Also, more importantly, I’ll be able to take the stock I currently have and just throw it on my shorty without having to worry about it. Without the nfa, why would anyone even need an ffl except for to create credibility in a product for the consumer. Almost like a certified mechanic being my gun store and the uncertified shmow throwing parts together in their driveway being, well, anyone. I feel like I’m not getting it. Like the nfa is in fact not dead but the regulations on certain things are. I’m also guessing no uscca lawyer types are chiming in because they may be involved in the case some how. Won’t I be able to make my own suppressor like, crazy easy? So cheap I could throw it out when I need to and make another??

I’m not a lawyer, but yeah with the NFA dead, you shouldn’t need to register your 11” with the adjustable stock, or the barrel adapter that allows you to use potatoes as a suppressor.

However it was around long enough for additional laws to be invoked against ownership of machine guns,

Edit, @Karacal keeps dropping the ball of linking these videos to this thread….

I understand the desire for automatic and the right to have them being restricted, but FRT’s already use pews faster than I care to buy them… my wallet can’t handle the slightly faster function and freedom :joy:

At least someone from Colorado signed off on this letter to protect the second amendment!

She catches a lot of flack, but is still better than a LOT of the rhinos and outright communists we have running our state.

If I’m not mistaken, suppressors are called firearms by the government. I never figured out how they became firearms, but I believe it is so. I always thought of them as accessories.
