(He’s been with the world)
I’m tired of the soup du jour
(He’s been with the world)
I wanna end this prophylactic tour
Afraid that no-one around me
Understands my potato
Think I’m only a spud boy
Looking for a real tomato

Since 1 Jan, there’s no longer a $200 tax on BATFE Form 4s or Form 1s so you can do this all day long and it costs nothing. He’s put it on a Form 1 so it’s obviously a homemade device.

In fact, the day the change went into effect, ATF received 150,000 Form 4s for suppressors. The average is 2500 a day, so obviously a whole bunch of people had been waiting for the tax to go away.

A great read. He had “droll” down to a science.
