Good! I sent one out from the PAC but not everyone is subscribed and I am trying to get the word out far and wide!Thanks. I just got the outreach@tsra.com email about this!
House Bill 957Can you give a link to the bill that you are talking about?
Representative Oliverson will be at the TSRA/TSRAPAC booth on Saturday at 2 PM (main entrance) to tell us whats going on with this bill and what he thinks is next. Hope to see y'all there!
There have been several petitions to seek a declaratory judgment on suppressors, I guess this is the first to actually make it to court? I have been keeping my eye out to see when a case actually went to court, lets see how this one plays out, hopefully in our favor.
Sad that you are right. Since I have a machine shop at my disposal, some friends suggested this last weekend that I make a can. I'd like to, but don't have an army handy. This has to be the most idiotic NFA thing ever. I had slim hopes that the hearing protection act would go through, and I wasn't surprised it didn't.Ask yourself is it worth it to be the one to stand up without an army behind you?
Isn't there a US law against marijuana but it's "legal" in some states?
How would this be different?
Because quiet guns are so much more deadly.The DEA don't care to enforce MJ laws as much as the FEDS want to prosecute you under BATF laws.... it's for the good of the children after all.

The bill REQUIRES a declaratory judgement and even if they wanted to, they couldn't go buy any old suppressor. First the declaratory judgement THEN it must me wholly made in Texas down to the unmachined metal. That doesn't exist to my knowledge at THIS time.I'm pretty sure we have two examples that if you do not abide by the ATFs laws (without being passed by a legislature) you will be dealt with in a way they feel appropriate. No state law will override the Federal Bureaucracy and I'll believe it when I see it.
Ask yourself is it worth it to be the one to stand up without an army behind you? This state law is political posturing. Until the COTUS passes laws limiting the BATFE bureaucratic authority it's irrelevant what each state passes.
If Paxton, Oliverson, or other state officials believe so faithfully in their law then they can buy an in state Texas suppressor without a stamp, advertise that they have, and see what the results are.

So your post raises a question for me. First please don't think I pretend to know everything. I don't! I learn by asking questions and listening.In a sniper scenario, they are.

My understanding is that in a sniper situation (longer shots) they make the firearm slightly less accurate. Is this not true?
You rock! Thank you for explaining!Any suppressor has the ability to impact precision accuracy, but that can be managed with specific load testing. Where a suppressor really helps a sniper is to mask the flash signature more so than the sound signature, but reducing both those signatures improve sniper survivability.
