New laws for short barrels and suppressors??

[gypsyman]

 Not sure were they're at, everything I've seen looks like a holding pattern for the time being. No background checks for anything that use to be a class 3 item?? Anybody got an update?

Not yet but heard about it. Only common sense butt, when has governing people ever been about common sense. Besides, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon. Pretty easy to understand yet still heavily infringed upon by the government.

Judge ruled against government on this. His order was no more restrictions on suppressors or short barrel rifles. Must treat them same as guns. But that does still mean it requires going thru an FFL dealer and background checks.

No more fees and no more year long waits or special lists of who owns them.

DOJ will not appeal decision by judge.

but as of now you must be a member of GOA.

Oh it also ONLY applies to citizens of the 17 or so states who were involved in the lawsuit. Alabama was not so doesn't apply here.

To benefit, you must be a member of one of the plaintiff classes - members, current and future, of B&T USA, Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of America, customers of Palmetto State Armory, Silencerco Weapons Research, Silencer Shop Foundation, and residents of the States of Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Beyond that, many states still require registration under the NFA for you to possess suppressors, SBRs and SBSs so you need to know your state laws to know if you can benefit from this ruling.

Also, keep in mind that the government can still appeal the ruling so it's not over just yet, even for those covered by the current ruling.
