This also only applies to the plaintiffs and "where applicable, the plaintiffs’ agencies, political subdivisions, members, and customers—both current and future." I haven't read through the full docket, but apparently Silencer Shop did request a blanket ban on enforcement of the challenged NFA provisions, and the court wasn't willing to do that. It's a great step, but nowhere near the end of the NFA.
Yep it sucks, when I installed an FRT in my AR I knew I had to have a certain stance and be careful when firing it. And I’ve been seeing videos of hoodrats blasting their FRT in somewhat public places.
Haven't you ever seen xxxx movie?
The average FRT owner is a smelly reddit tier gun autist neckbeard who literally wear Boogaloo shit to the range, have a Lolbert bumper sticker and weighs North of 250lbs at all times.
I think that was in one of the John Wick movies. It was so preposterous I couldn't help but laugh.
The justification for regulating surpressors was illegal poaching during the Great Depression.
Oh, so it's one of those completely outdated bullshit laws, like the one about sawn-offs. SBRs as in short-barreled rifles? I don't know a whole lot of gun lingo.
As of a couple of years back suppressor's privately manufactured in Texas only for use in Texas and not for resale are completely compliant with state laws and legal in the state, IIRC.
SBR: Short Barreled Rifle (barrel length under 16 inches)
Hey now! I'll have you know that I weighed in this morning at a svelte 246.
That is correct. The CMP started selling M1 carbines off in the 50s and sold a couple of million before someone realized they were illegally selling SBRs. Congress then changed the length to 16” on rifles rather then try and track down the millions of guns that had been sold.
This will be appealed and it, or a similar case (possibly a different case after a circuit split) will have to go to SCOTUS for any ruling that actually means anything on the ground.
I can only imagine the amount of chaos and mayhem those long ass barrels have caused. Unacceptable.
When it was first introduced in 1934 the tax stamp cost the same $200 as today but adjusted for inflation that's $5,000 in today's dollars. That was also deep Great Depression times while $200 is dinner at a nice steakhouse today. That fee was meant to ban them in practice without actually "banning" them in violation of the 2nd Amendment.

I still want multiple FRTs but these retards are going to get them banned... Fuck
You're overlooking a historical fact, Congress specifically picked $200 because that was the original retail price of a Tommy Gun, which was the cheapest and most common machine gun in America at the time. It's list price was $200 ($3,700) from 1921 to 1925, then they lowered the price to $175 ($3,300) in 1926, before raising it to $225 ($4,400) in 1928 which was still the price at the time NFA passed in 1934, at which point due to the Great Depression starting in 1929, the value of $225 would be $5,600 today.
