UPDATE 3/30/2012: Movement to repeal silencer ban

[Grappler]

This thread needs a positive update :/

With this legislature? Not going to happen. We will be on defense in 2014 and then we need to be hitting the 2014 election HARD.

Hopefully this next go around will turn out better

One can only hope and then cast their vote

We can do more than hope. We can recruit candidates, we can campaign for them, we can raise money through the MN Gun Owners PAC, we can support GOCRA and the NRA... there are a lot of things that we can do... rather than just hope

So what are the odds we could get something to pass that let us bypass the atf if made/sold/stayed in MN? Very wishful thinking I'm guessing.

I would be more inclined to guess "impossible". The Federal govt appears to have little tolerance for states contravening Federal law.

The feds haven't locked down California or Colorado over the herb yet. Utah was gonna do something like that but not sure how far it got, IF it was followed the 10th should protect them from that, but once again if it was followed the feds would be up MN ass for the banning of them in the first place.

Never happen. Ask Jan Brewer.

You might wish to review recent interpretations, and applications of the Interstate Commerce Clause.
I suspect one day soon, if not already, it will be relevant to the ICC that the air one breaths was once in another state.

......... but once again if it was followed the feds would be up MN ass for the banning of them in the first place.

Why? Federal law doesn't require states to allow silencers.

I would consider a suppressor to fall under the arms category.

So are machine guns, and no civilian without a SOT can manufacture those either.

You fight the good fight Mr. Freeman on The Land. The rest of us will work to change the unjust and misguided laws from within the system, rather than getting thrown in jail where we do our cause (and our families) no good.

Respecting the rule of law, and embracing that all laws should apply to all people equally is what sets "us" apart from "them" and gives us the moral high ground. Don't sink to their level.

THIS. Plus the practical aspects of suppressors will be related to by far more people. Afterall, who can legitimately argue against making something quieter? (Save the poacher arguments). And unless you beat someone with a supressor, they really can't harm anyone.

I understand and that is why I put the IF in there.
