Guys...come on lets play nice!
I happen to think that suppresors are a GOOD idea for the shooter. NOT to go kill somebody, but to lesson the report of the weapon while shooting, for the enjoyment of all.
Yes they are given a bead rap in the movies... you know the bad guys always have them... BOO!!
Scary huh?
I think that for society, the NFA act SPECIFICLY relating to suppresors is a GOOD thing. Shocking I know
I would not like to see gang-bangers, or anyone wanting to do bad things with them!
I have been asked quite a few times, just as any machinist probably has. In one case the guy even HAD his tax stamp... He just wanted to buy the tubing from me. Not even machined. But I told him no!
I will not even be party to helping some one build one! Legal or not.
I would not like to see ANY form of jailtime. I am just a pretty white boy!! I would get torn up in jail! So no making them for me.
Now, I DO WANT ONE!! But when I do decide to PURCHASE it will be LEGAL! I will go thru the mother-may-I act of getting the CLEO to sign off on it, and then file the proper paperwork for it. Pay my $200 (maybe $400 if I get a full auto) and go happily down to the shooting range and have FUN!!!!
