Firearms lawyer Joshua Prince has been mentioned here before for his firm’s great work on ATF 41P, the proposed regulations that would make it impossible for many of us to acquire firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act. But Prince isn’t just a paper pusher—he likes to touch off a few rounds here and there, […]
Occasionally, I talk to someone about the National Firearms Act registration process, with all of its hassles, and their response is “why not just skip the rigmarole?” The short answer, of course, is that staying legal, even when the laws you are obeying are stupid and unjust, has it benefits. As a firearms enthusiast, I […]
I have been a firearms owner for several years but it was only recently that I became interested in National Firearms Act (“NFA”) weapons. Specifically, I wanted to learn more about suppressors. Suppressors or “silencers” fall under the same set of laws that also regulate short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, machine guns, destructive devices, and the […]

Following the talking points used by the New York Times back in February, the Wall Street Journal published an article on Thursday characterizing the ATF’s proposed regulations as closing a “loophole” in the federal firearms law.

In the silencer industry, this year has been a year of creeping bureaucracy, with nasty proposed regulations pending at ATF and ever-increasing paperwork processing times. But 2013 has otherwise been a good one for the silencer industry, which continues to grow. SilencerCo was even recognized by Inc. magazine as one of the “Top 500 Fasting Growing […]
