(1,320 posts)I on the surface have thought it was a doable idea, BUT having waited over 8 months to get back a tax stamp for a suppressor, and dealing with all the issues over transportation as well as the added $200 burden per weapon, I find it unreasonable to be honest,
Now go with a AOW $5 stamp and a cash and carry system through selected FFLs, I would be willing to concede to this, IN RETURN for suppressors and SBRs being included in the same provisions, I am willing to compromise, that means a quid pro quo for giving in to de facto registration. Do you realize the HUGE number of applications that will hit the ATF if we did this.
"why can't you understand- nobody is taking your guns away. just preventing ones in the future from being made"
So my children, and nieces and nephews are not going to be given the freedom I have? I am all about passing down the freedoms I have to the future, hopefully with a better society attached to them.
"you are using military speak there. because it is a military weapon, of course. "
This is lingua franca of firearms, it crosses any .Mil/Civ. boundaries.. in fact most of the military are not that interested in firearms and have a small specific set of ammo they will deal with, only in the civilian community do you run into a large amount of specific verbiage due to the bewildering array of calibers, case lengths and grain loads.. Specificity is key, say in a discussion of 7.62.. there are 3 distinct and popular rounds in that caliber, then you add in .30 cal discussion.. you need to use specific and technical terms, and I totally under stan how to those outside it sounds like mil-speak or even sinister, as most technobabble does.
