I sent Senator Kline an e-mail requesting that he allow bill 1604 to get a hearing in committee if it ever passes the House. He sent me one of the most insulting e-mails I have ever received from a Senator. It said in part;
As he should know, commerce in silencers is already legal, even when use is banned in WA. They are not legal to sell at gun shows unless ATF approval is obtained. I'm sure he has no evidence to support his claim that they go from gun shows to the underworld.
I wrote to Senator Sheldon asking him to straighten Mr. Kline out a bit. Since he is not one of those who replies to e-mails very much, I am not expecting a reply.
I know some of the people here have written to Kline in the past. What did he say? Did he try to blow you off with his "silencers are illegal" crap? How did you reply? Has anyone been able to maintain any ongoing correspondence with him? Thanks.

that once these things get into legal commerce, they become more common, and finally find there way into the gun-shows.
At those gun-shows, they can effectively be sold to anyone, including those with felony records, since the rule at gun shows is "No Questions Asked."
The federal law, the Brady Act, allows informal sales to go without a records-check. From that point on, the devices (and guns generally) flow into the criminal underworld, unreported and in unknown quantities.
