All of my silencers are in MN now. If I bring any of my registered silencers back to WA, I will be fine. But I will need to ask a WA attorney about unregistered silencers in WA.

Any idea on how this will affect state laws that ban silencers except for those that are registered in accordance with federal law? https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.66 Subd. 1a.Felony crimes; suppressors; reckless discharge.

I do not think that reducing the tax to $0 is the same as no longer regulating silencers as an NFA item. Nothing in HR-1 that I read, says this. The ATF form 1 is for tax paid and tax exempt firearms. The ATF form 5 is a tax free transfer which can be used by non-licensed persons, such as to an heir.

I know how pleased you must be. You're welcome. I am entirely not pleased with how WhiteHouse.gov merely quotes the NRA. I am equally unimpressed with the Buckeye link which says silencers are removed from the NFA, but the link they provide goes to H.R.-1, which says it only reduces the tax from $2...

I was not sent anything. I simply looked up HR-1, here; https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-con ... use-bill/1

Can you show me where it removes silencers from the NFA? I did not see it.

Well, the rumors were true! https://apnews.com/article/fbi-director ... 4bf46ad876

Just an acting director though. Obama had an acting director for over two years at one time. I wonder how long Patel will be in this position?

You're being evasive, sherlock. Why would you think that any rumor addressing a possible appointment of the director of the FBI to the ATF position was worth addressing here? Edited to add; Kash Patel tells FBI staff to ignore Elon Musk’s productivity email as signs of power struggles emerge in D.C....

I did not mean to trigger you so badly.

Trump's EO; https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/protecting-second-amendment-rights/ I think Trump does not really believe that the 2A is a safeguard of security and liberty. If he did, then he would not have had a gun grab, proposed gun confiscation without due process or suggest...

He is the new director of the FBI as of February 20. Trump will probably direct him to purge the ranks of any agent associated or remotely associated with the J6 investigations or any investigations into Trump's activities. It will most likely not matter how loyal they were to the country or to Trum...

Bump stocks were banned in Washington state also. I have no idea if anyone got the $150 buyback that was promised.

I wonder how many bump stock owners hid their bump stocks back in 2019 instead of surrendering or destroying them?
