Texas over charging??

[LAWJIC]

Is Tx based sellers of Suppressors over charging Tx residents for suppressors bc the new law by our Tx guv’mnt regarding buy and use in Tx….? Seems that way. I could do out of state buy, including tax stamp for cheaper than a Tx buy…. Any thoughts?

 

[Squanchy]

ive just moved back here to Texas, can you elaborate on the new law you speak of?

 

[Havok1]

what prices are you seeing currently in and out of texas?

 

[Sasquatch]

You found a shop actually selling Made in Texas suppressors without jumping thru NFA hoops?

 

[Hoji]

Dafuq are you talking about?

 

[Hoji]

I re-read your post and am dumber for doing so.

Wow… slow down Hoji…
I’m just saying I can’t find in expensive sup’s in Texas yet…. But in MO state for instance I can.
The law in Tx, Havok1, is that you can buy and sell sup’s with out fed guvmnt tax stamp if you buy it, use it in Tx and it doesn’t leave the state. But like Sasquatch said, sellers aren’t taking chances with the ATF until litigation is finalized.
My original question is about pricing it’s expensive here in Texas..

I know what the law is, I’m asking what prices you’re currently seeing both in and out of Texas. I highly doubt you would be able to buy any of what I own for $200+ cheaper in another state.

surely that cant be what he meant, i havent heard of anyone actually going down that path yet... way too risky to be the case study for a federal court case

No need - there's already pending legal action in the fed courts from Paxton's office. Someone here in Texas has already put the law to use, as actually intended. We just need to wait and see the outcome.

tax stamped suppressors are the same price here as they are allover the place. you might be seeing a slight markup from a dealer to cover their overhead?

oh nice i havent heard of this happening yet. i know at least one other state tested this federally ( i believe kentucky) that has a similar suppressor law but lost federally and the customer that took it through court did end up in prison. ill have to find that article

The difference with Texas law is that it provides the mechanism to use the AG on your behalf *before* you commit a federal crime. I think we're the first that put that in there - other states just said "hey, suppressors made here are good to go, do what you want with that" whereas our law has it in there that a Texan can have the AG's office petitition for relief on their behalf from the federal courts, without actually having to have purchased or made their own suppressor first.

Kentucky, Kansas, Montana etc all just decriminalized suppressors.

Honestly - the approach to this whole mess should be pointing to drug laws. How many states have now legalized recreational drug use, while thoe drugs remain federally prohibited? DEA isn't out there conducting mass raids of dispensories or weed farms in those states.

The ATF's rage-boner against gun owners is the only difference.

Shit, the DEA isn't even sending in their storm troopers into Oregon or Cali where they decriminalized *hard drugs* - they're not slinging meth over the counter there yet, but its not far off if the libs remain in power.

ya i like that approach, honestly i take a far more libertarian view of drugs and firearms, it should all be decriminalized and allow the free market to dictate QAQC of drugs and firearms alike lol

That's OK, perfection takes time. Gen 4 9mm Glocks are about as perfect as perfection gets

No suppressor manufacturer wants to be the test case on that law.

Texas Suppressor Law

Soo, the law that was signed, has no real legal protection on a federal level? From the little I've read from other states that have similar laws, the person selling and buying can and have been prosecuted and convicted by ATF. (Please correct me if wrong).
