ahhhhh…well, someone will figure it out I guess.

Long ones like those are easy to envision, but I’m struggling with the fact that he specifically said “chop about 4″ off the barrel” – much less awkward for home defense, but seems to create the issue I described above.

Geoff PR,

While the tax stamp goes to $0 on January 1st, 2026, the requirement to get ATF approval remains which means that you still have to file the applicable form and get their approval before building. If a bazillion more people than normal do that all at once–which they probably will–approval times at the ATF could seriously balloon.

.40 cal Booger,

The looming elections were a major factor in my decision as well. I was convinced that Democrats would somehow steal the election again and proceed to finish wrecking our economy and society for that matter. On top of that, I figured that a Harris/Walz administration would be so utterly incompetent and feckless that there was a definite possibility of a foreign nation starting some significant shenanigans in our homeland. Of course there was a significant probability that Democrats would make suppressors illegal going forward. When you consider all of that, it seemed wise to acquire suppressors.

Given that a pump gun (even with box mags) has a tube to guide the forend, parallel and close to the barrel; and an integrally suppressed barrel has a big tube surrounding the barrel, I’m having trouble picturing how that would be set up.

“My point is that I finally decided to jump through the onerous and punitive hoops once the wait times shrank down. My view was simple: I refused to go through an onerous and punitive process, which is unconstitutional, costs $200 per item, AND entails an average wait time of 11 months.”

So you were willing to do it ’cause ‘they’ [by actions] basically said “Good news! Now you can wait less time for us to infringe your constitutional right!” ?

🤣

But what I would REALLY like to see is an integrally-suppressed, magazine fed, short-barreled shotgun (e.g., modify a Mossberg 590M to be integrally-suppressed and chop about 4″ off the barrel). That would be the ideal home defense weapon
