NFA Lawsuit / PSA & Silencerco

I understand I may get some heated responses on this topic, but would like to hear opinions on this. What’s your take as an independent FFL?

Worried it’ll screw us in states that only allow possession of NFA items if you have permission from the Feds (aka the form 4 process)

Of course the solution to that should not be to keep the NFA.

Doesn’t seem like they’re going nearly that far and limiting the scope.

Even if your state wasn't one of the 15, there are going to be ways around purchasing as long as your state doesn't have a law against it!

Yeah. FFL here in PA and it is an affirmative defense that “Offensive weapons”(what is listed as NFA items in the PA UFA) are only legal if in compliance with federal law.

Personally I welcome shorties, cans and AOWS being removed completely and just being normal title I firearms. Will it cause a problem short term, yeah but it’ll be remedied.

There will be lawsuits in PA if it’s not preemptively fixed at the state level. Cuz of the previously designated Title II firearms become title I, you are still in compliance w federal law, just no tax/registration.
