SILENCER SATURDAY #44: Suppressors That Are NOT ALLOWED In The US -
Why?
Because.
"Section 8.3 Importation of NFA firearms.
With certain exceptions, NFA firearms may only be imported for the use of the United States or any State or possession or political subdivision thereof such as a law enforcement agency; for scientific or research purposes; solely for testing or use as a model by a registered manufacturer; or solely for use as a sample by a registered importer or registered dealer.142 Importers may not import NFA firearms for stockpiling or warehousing them at their licensed premises for the purpose of filling future orders from qualifying agencies or dealers requesting sales samples. Imported NFA firearms may be stored in a Customs Bonded Warehouse (CBW) or a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). NFA firearms may only be withdrawn from these facilities to fill specifically approved purchase requests."
Still not sure why though - what portion of the NFA mandates this?
From the article there appears to be some pretty cool suppressors made overseas and we can't have them.
