A federal operation underway since 2019 has seized tens of thousands of illegal gun silencers smuggled into the United States from China, leading to the arrests of felons and domestic extremists, authorities say.

You mean criminals and terrorists don't bother with a Form 1 or 4, pay a tax, and wait a year to exercise an enumerated right? What a shock.

After they emptied the fentanyl out of the tubes and forwarded it to Chicago, they went after the domestic terrorists.

I have always had my suspicion that the solvent trap was a scam by ATF to manufacture an excuse to do a search. Just like the plastic coat hangers and artistic etching on metal card that were declared machine gun parts and you got a visit if you had purchased one.

Feds have had more than one court case dropped because they entrapped people, just as a case about kidnapping a Governer was dismissed recently.

Local LE does it with other activities, I see no reason why the Feds wouldn't engage in this.

Will empty two liter soda bottles be banned or require a background check if in your possession? What about the tape? Thread adapter?

Firstly, all gun laws are unconstitutional.

Secondly, that's 43,000 opportunities for business that American manufacturers missed out on because of unconstitutional laws.

There would be a boom in suppressor manufacturing in the US if suppressors were taken off the NFA.

Suppressors can be had for £ 50 in the UK. It's absurd that we regulate them at all in the US.

Control my friend... control.

I'm curious to what companies are ordering these from the Chinese? Or is it some sort of back deal with a legitimate front?

Like all those auto sears for Glocks, who exactly is ordering them?

Neither should we. All the laws the ATF enforce are direct violations of the 2nd amendment.

 

[VinnieBoomBah]

Control my friend... control.

I mean, the entirety of the NFA was based on racist and classist motivations, so nothing new there
