Didn’t Texas already decriminalize it at the state level? I believe TN decriminalized SBR/SBS at the state level a couple of years ago.

First they started with small caliber using PLA or resin and now they are up to .223, 30 cal and even 50 cal. PLA and resin have been replaced with Nylon Glass Fiber and Nylon Carbon Fiber reinforced with Fiberglass Epoxy and Carbon Fiber tubes. The funny part is that may of these have been showing better results then some very reputable manufacturers. Some are doing this legally but many are not. It may become a situation similar to weed where its use will become so common that it will be decriminalized. Silencer control just like gun control is a thing of the past the general population just doesn’t know it yet. When a middle school kid can print a half dozen functional cans in 12 hours the battle is lost, they just don’t know it yet. I’m sure anyone who has experienced a baffle strike on their nice new expensive can would appreciate the ability to make a new one in your home in a few hours. I’m interested to see what happens.

100 percent agree on suppressors.

The only downside is that I hear you don’t get the actual 1920s-era stamp mailed to you.

They really need to fix that… 🙁

Yes, you can help by contacting the Mass. gun rights orgs crafting the lawsuits and donating…

“I’m in California, where silencers are completely forbidden.”

That is being worked on.

If you would like to help, contact the California gun rights organizations, and donate to help defray the costs the lawyers they need to hire stack up.

They claim they want ‘European-style gun control’, without realizing silencers are for the most part, completely unregulated in Europe. It’s considered impolite to shoot without one…

Even in most of Europe, where you have to jump through far too many hoops to get any sort of rifle (and can’t even get a handgun in many countries), suppressors are over the counter items that are viewed as “just good manners.” (They typically make them cheaply and treat them as consumables that have to be replaced after a few hundred shots.) They are least realize that suppressors on centerfire rifles just reduce the noise from literally ear-splitting to just loud — not what Hollywood makes them out to be.

It’s because you might start shooting people and noone will notice, like a gangster hitman. Most of the poor knowledge of weapons is driven by movies, as far back as the 50s (switchblades) and the 70s (throwing stars).

If they wish to have some control over them, they can insert them into GCA-68 and have them listed on Form 4473.
