Thank you very much and God bless you.

Most significant pro 2nd Amendment and Right to Keep and Bear Arms win in decades....

And many still consider Trump and the Trump admin to be anti-gun...

Palmetto State Armory @palmettoarmory

The win is here. Phase One starts NOW. 🇺🇸
Qualifying suppressor transactions at participating PSA locations in South Carolina can now move through a 4473 + normal background check without the separate Form 4 process described in the old system.
And qualifying PSA-sourced suppressors through our direct dealer network may be covered.
Watch the full breakdown.
State/local laws apply. Not legal advice. If you have questions, consult an attorney.

(my note - buying Suppressors, complete sbr and sbs firearms will still need 4473)

Good news. My $0 Form 4 was submitted last week. The FFL said the Ruger suppressor was not included in the ruling. No matter. It should be approved shortly.

Yes it is.

There is going to have to be lots of clarification from the DOJ to cover how to handle removal of restrictions and the NFA registration won’t go away, because there are many states that have state reqiurements on possession of items need registration, so there is still a ways to go to provide relief for everyone...

But this is a big pro firearms win, that no other republican president has ever considered.

We will take it. This is not a win. If i have to fill out paperwork to buy an item, government has control.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP and Attorney General Blanche, for delivering the most significant Second Amendment win in OVER 90 YEARS!

The most important Second Amendment ruling is District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), where the Supreme Court ruled for the first time that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to own a firearm for self-defense unconnected to militia service.

It depends on your definition of a win.

We have been winning incrementally ever since the Heller decision in 2008. This is not a loss.

A little win here, another there, pretty soon you don’t have to pay a $200 tax for a suppressor. Then you don’t have to register them or send in finger prints or a photograph.

More and more winning.

Permitless carry is in 29 states.

The Trump administration is the most pro-Second Amendment administration since before 1830.

Hopefully new suppressor makers will hit the market and prices will go down.

There's no reason for a $1,000 Sandman.

The next Democrat administration will immediately overturn the EO that took the tax stamp to $0, and who knows, make it a million.

In light of that, the only patriotic thing to do is to immediately go out and buy up as many SBR’s and SBS’s, Suppressors, and AOR’s as possible.

Then they’ll really have a dilemma.

Buy more guns? Twist my arm why dontcha?
