People applying for a stamp for a braced pistol added to all the people who have complied with ATF rules concerning suppressors, SBR, and SBS just adds to the ATFs precedent that since so many people complied that registering a firearm is not an infringement on the 2nd. Their argument will be if...
I appreciate your post as informed and thought out. I do take offense at being called ridiculous when I am not discussing the law’s validity. They will use the compliance as an argument for the legislation putting new firearms on the list.
Their argument will be
“If you believe an SBR is ok...
I never said anything about being on a list.
I am in no way naive about the excessive overreach of our government.
When they move “assault rifles” to the list and we cannot claim it infringes our rights because people willingly participated and did not claim the asking for permission and paying...
Lol everyone is all about falling in line with the feds but I am the Commie fudd. Please get as many stamps as you want.
The majority of you have missed the point of the OP but that is not uncommon here.
I keep saying I have no use (since using the word need triggers everyone) for a suppressor, SBR or SBS. I was going to make a Whippet which is a cut down Remington model 11 like what Bonnie and Clyde used. But I was not going to invite the Feds into my life to have one.
I you have a drivers license. tag for your car have ever applied for a permit of any kind ( carry, fishing, hunting, building or start a business.....} or have a passport you have asked for permission.
Off topic but in response I am going to guess every court that has sent people to prison for not paying taxes does not share your interpretation of the applicable statutes .
I agree the IRS is a horrible institution and I support the Fair Tax. If I could avoid paying taxes I would.
You are absolutely right . I don't know what I was thinking when I said that. Thank you for pointing out my hubris.
It does not change the fact that when you participate in a government registration program for one type of firearm don't be surprised when they start to expand it to other firearms.
You wanted them bad enough to ask for permission to have them and pay for the privilege. If you are ok with that more power to you. When they add items to the list fill out your form and pay for your stamp. You do you my friend.
I am not suggesting you violate the law. I am suggesting that your participation establishes a precedent and conditions participants toward compliance. As i have said no one needs a suppressor, SBR or SBS.
