Petition to Remove Suppressors from NFA

Take Action: Sign Petition to Remove Suppressors from NFA by G&A Online Editors | July 14th, 2014 0

petition_suppressor_NFA_sig_sauer_silencer_1Those of us who support improvements in suppressor legislation have an opportunity to take action.

A new petition posted on Whitehouse.gov aims to remove suppressors from the list of items regulated by the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA). The petition requests suppressors be taken off the list of NFA regulated items, remove the costly $200 tax stamp on any purchase of a suppressor, eliminate the complex legality and travel issues between states and reduce safety concerns related to discharging firearms.

The petitioners have a goal of 100,000 signatures by Aug. 5, 2014. Although reaching this goal wouldn’t guarantee changes in current legislation, it would require the White House Administration to review the petition and issue an official response.

For more information about suppressors and legislation updates, check out the American Suppressor Association.

Help support suppressor awareness! Visit the Whitehouse.gov website to view or sign the petition.

Pony up folks. With a signature anyway. Need another 69,000+ signature by Aug. 5th. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. The supressors are expensive enough without adding the $200.00 tax fee.

Done

Thanks. Get your friends and neighbors to do so if you can.

They need Mandatory suppressors in Chicago...

It is hard to get a good night’s sleep in chicagoland with their firearms ban.....

(being sarcastic here)

I was just thinking that. How does anyone get any sleep with all that gunfire going on constantly. Oh, duh. The gov. wants to ban all “assault weapons” in IL. up to and including 50 cals. That ought to quiet things down. Fookin’ idjits!

If they're removed from being NFA, then you won't have to get them from NFA dealers - hell you could make them yourself - and the prices will come down pretty quick.

The only reason suppressors are so expensive is because they are so heavily regulated, not because of manufacturing difficulties or exotic materials or anything else. A good suppressor should cost no more than $50.

Wanna see some nice stuff from Denmark? LOL! No, not that kind of “nice” stuff.

Signed...

BUT BUT BUT, the gang bangers are running around with silencers on their .500 S&Ws stuffed in their saggy pants. We have to protect the children and cops from high capacity dum dum bullet clips in AK-47 full auto glock assault guns. Just like in movies...
