Well, if suppressors aren't labeled as firearms, then they shouldn't be regulated by the ATF
It's not the ATFS after all.
That's what I was gonna say, not an arm shouldn't need tax stamp bs. Kind of a double edge sword though because then they could be taken away more easily
Perhaps the American Paperweight Association can regulate them.
Some genius Congressmen made a specific thing with it. Super great
Perhaps the ATF should be abolished.
let us know when they actually remove the NFA. thanks
Seriously
TIL then print your own. Ftn.4
Unfortunately, not going to happen.
@@apricotcharms4126can you build your own suppressor?
@@owens417 Legally you can If you go through the application and pay the $200.00 tax stamp. Form 1 same as for making your own SBR or SBS.
If they are not arms, how can the ATF have any jurisdiction over them?.
BINGO!
I’m reasonably certain there is grounds for regulating mufflers, very likely every single state has them. If they want to keep them regulated or banned The government can shoestring this alone for years.
This is what they want, not protected by 2nd so each state/fed can create a bill to ban.... Don't let them. Nfa is unconstitutional
I used to hold this "then ATF can't regulate" notion. Problem is it opens the doors for the states to regulate them.
@@AKloverSo, I need a muffler for my car but can’t have one for a firearm even though it’s in the interest of public health? Leftist subhumans are illogical and can’t keep their shit straight. Repeal NFA/GCA and abolish ATF. No compromises
Everyone here, including Armed Scholar, should be pressuring local reps to help pass the Hearing Protections Act (HPA) because if the deregulate them federally it will help this case
Good first step, but we need to repeal the NFA in full. We wouldn't have to do this if the Supreme Court would take it up and find it wholly unconstitutional.
There is a HUSH act as well in congress. Bring that one up too!!
I’m doing my part by spreading the word about 3d printing them so we can get them to common use
Press them all the read, memorize and recite the constitution.
If they keep saying suppressors aren't a big deal, why do they have such a bug up their asses about banning them?
Anything to mess with people
To control and charge citizens $$$$$$
A muffler, is not so important to an automobile that it cannot be operated without one. OPEN HEADERS FOR ALL
Hood dump, because F- turbo lag!!!
brilliant analogy!
TBF straight pipe harleys are the best argument FOR suppressors..
Zoomies thru the hood!!! 😂
Yea, but you still have the high capacity gas tank ban, and the 10-day waiting period on new vehicles.
If they are not arms, why does the ATF classify them as arms under the law, and require registration 🤔
Money
The NFA specifically lists suppressors as an item needing the tax stamp.
Because they ARE AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ENTITY ALTOGETHER!!
Because they ARE AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ENTITY ALTOGETHER.
@@layneanderson9582 But yet they are not firearms? Why would an accessory be listed under the National FIREARMS Act?
Tired of all these tiny points being brought to the Supreme Court. Why doesn’t someone just bring a suit against the government for any and all laws against our constitutional rightt
It’s astounding that the gun controllers only consider certain items not to be covered by the 2A when it suits their narrative
Please allow the people of California to protect their hearing in a self-defense home situation
100% we need this also!
@@danielchroman4003 insane, a car by law must have a 95db or less muffler, but you muffle your pistol and now you're a felon? I dont miss that state.
@ what if someone made a suppressor with a knife built-in?
@@danielchroman4003 don't ask don't tell, let it identify as a taco.....
@@ArmedScholarsuppressors need to be off the nfa so we can buy them in stores I’m not comfortable with filling my rifles with the atf
"Suppressor are not used for self defense."
*looks at my bedside gun with a suppressor on it*
😂
Haha....ditto!!
All my in-home, self defense guns are quiet.
Same
@@Yoda052not quiet they are suppressed 😉
Simple solution. Repeal the unconstitutional National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act of 1968.
This would be a pipe dream for millions of Americans.
“we want to regulate arms”
“btw supressor are not arms”
“btw we want to regulate them cause they’re arms, but at the same time they’re not arms”
This is about money and control.
I can’t think of a more simple way to address this question. Here in the US firearms suppressors and automotive mufflers were developed simultaneously. I am required by the government to have a muffler on any vehicle I operate, but the same government doesn’t allow me to install a suppressor on a firearm unless I undergo additional background checks and pay a fee for the privilege. If someone honestly says that makes sense they are a complete idiot.
Amen!
The fact that we are the most violent developed country on the planet shows we are too loose with our gun laws. There are 1000’s of slaughtered children to prove it. Maybe the republicans will require these murderers to use suppressors so as not to damage the hearing of the children they are slaughtering
Good to hear for the people of Illinois!
If a suppressor is not an arm, either is a key card.
So... it also shouldn't be regulated like a firearm.
100%
They speak from both sides of their arses!
Full disclosure, I’m only 3mins into the video. I just find it funny IL is arguing that suppressors aren’t arms protected by the 2A, but they’re trying to regulate them as if they are🤣🤣🤣.
Exactly!
They are NOT going to let go of something they have authority over.
One step closer to getting rid of the unconstitutional NFA
Using Illinois' logic, they could ban hearing protection and safety glasses since they're not arms.
A suppressor is very necessary since it serves to protect the hearing of the owner and those around. Praying the National Hearing Protection Act gets passed.
My truck can operate without a muffler but it is COMMON SENCE to always use one.
If they aren't arms, then why are they being regulated by the ATF???
Subpoena the highest ATF official possible and have them testify as to whether or not they are arms.
BUT First wait for Trumps nominee to become the highest. lol
@ if it was Brandon, I would pay to watch him testify!
The highest ATF official (director of ATF) just resigned. A new one is being appointed this year, I am hoping that he will be pro 2A. Also, Brandon Herrera is currently the top voted nominee for this position by a huge margin.
OK, explain this if their argument is it’s not a firearm and it has no protection. Shouldn’t that cancel out their argument of banning it because it’s not a firearm how can they ban it?
Unfortunately, since they would no longer be protected under the second amendment, they would be able to ban suppressors. However, since there are already so many in circulation, it will be near impossible to collect and destroy every single suppressor. If this happens our best choice would be mass non-compliance.
Guys please remember that weapons even being taxed is an infringement we don’t tax religion.Any permission slip of a citizen is an infringement you should be given an arm if you lack the money to buy one so you can express your constitutional rights,How about that ?
Yes!!!! HALLELUJAH ✋🏿🙏🏿
🇺🇸👍
I was hoping this was about Texas suppressor laws. But I know that Texas really wants to get rid of it. Definitely got some respect for Governor Greg Abbott!
I live in Illinois. I don't really care about suppressors but I was JUST about to buy an AR10 and have been super pissed off every day that this AR ban has been in place.
illannoyed = chiraq the way newyork = NYC
one city gets to define the whole state. this is what "popular vote" does for you.
@@ripvanwinkle2002 I mean while it's unfortunate when people go a direction I don't want, what's the alternative? Unpopular vote? Your land has more say in government than actual people? Popular vote isn't the problem, it's mainstream media trying to brainwash folks into disarming.
This is why we civilians hate lawyers!
Using a suppressor in a self-defense situation can help protect your hearing, especially in a home invasion scenario where firing indoors can cause significant ear damage. While it’s not something everyone needs to include in their home defense setup, it’s definitely an option worth considering for those who want to minimize noise and potential damage the ears of you and or your family.
Excellent breakdown. Thank you.
I’m happy for you all. Talking about suppressors and bump stocks and whatever the hell you can or can’t have. I’m in NY…
We get screwed so much in IL that we have no chance for relief. Will check back in 2 years
Pritzker puts the ILL in Illinois.
Either legalize suppressors or ban mufflers
If they're not arms serial numbers are unnecessary...they don't have an argument at all
I want suppressors off the NFA list as much as anyone. About your point though, lots of things have serial numbers that aren't arms.
The more education you have the more you can be armed
🇺🇸👍
The second amendment is the only knowledge we need. Perhaps you need more. Some of us are more intelligent I guess.
Let’s F’n Gooooo !
I think let the supreme Court has gone bad in America
If they aren't "arms" then how can they be restricted under the Nation FireARMS Act?
Amendment II
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,
the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The spirit of the 2nd. Ammendment is about self defense and opposing tyranny and oppression, against government. So owning a suppressor makes you more effective in that opposition.
Awesome 👌...I love what you do!!! Keep up the great work
Using the same logic one could say that the near entirety of an automobile is not necessary to fill the core function of a car, excepting the drive train and other bare necessities. Things like windshields, bumpers and doors are mere accessories. But they are not accessories, they are ancillary to the function of the car, just like a suppressor is ancillary to a firearm.
If the firearm was built with the suppressor internally integrated in the design the state would have a tough time arguing it was an accessory.
Thanks tor the update!
This will spend decades in the courts Merry-Go-Round!
😂 I’m epileptic, explained that and accepted to my local sheriff department “ that with a modern firearm I am a liability”, but I just asked Sacramento pd about a ccw permit for a knife 😂 , how much it would cost and to renew it! not scared of a background check, would only make sense to have a mental evaluation and take a written test!
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If the silencer is not an arm, then why the hell is the aft able to regulate it at all? Last I checked, the ATF stood for alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives. Not whatever the hell they want to regulate. The ATF should be abolished
If they are not arms then why and the hell are they regulated.
As an Illinoisan...i hate this state. Cant wait to retire and move.
A suppressor protects your hearing when using a firearm, especially in enclosed space like a home or car. Hence it is a critical component for a self defense arm.
I appreciate you following all this because my senator (scallise) does not! I asked him about the "hush" act, they dont know...anyway...Maybe I missed it...what changed? I still need a tax stamp!
If the federal government considers suppressors to be firearms, no state or local agency has the authority to change that definition.Therefore, suppressors are firearms and that is all there is to it.
How can they claim suppressors are not arms, yet they are regulated by the ATF and have to be registered as an arm?
Our Supreme Court of the U.S. should give a definite ruling on matters such as this. It's an infringement upon our rights that these gun controllers continue to pull these stunts.
Shush Act, everyone needs to read it.
honest question: where would integrally suppressed weapons fall in their argument? A barrel (even a 1in barrel) is necessary to the function of a firearm. The barrel acting as the suppressor is just a bonus.
I would argue that they make it much easier for the user in a self-defense situation, especially indoors such as self-defense in the home. Maxim invented it as a safety item. Without suppressors, how loud a firearm is May dictate which firearm somebody chooses to use in a self-defense situation.
If they are not arms, then why have them banned?
TY A.S for all your 2A News 1st
Thanks for watching!
@ welcome 🙏
Thanks a million!
I've never ever understood this argument. If, in their own words "suppressors aren't weapons" then why are they regulated as weapons???
It is all bogus, for starters bearable arms should not be restricted at all!!!
What is wrong with the argument that they are accessories? If they are the ATF HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER THEM.
sounds like they used the same reasoning to have suppressors made illegal that is actually the same reason why the ATF shouldn't be have it listed or have authority over
Can’t wait for Brandon Herrera to become director of the ATF.
BLUF: no real change, check back in a few years that suppressors get removed from the NFA.
I do not understand how govt entities can simultaneously argue “not a weapon” yet claim that it must be restricted because it is somehow dangerous (as a weapon).
Seems like an estoppel.
What am i missing ?
All additional items that serve the useful purpose of a firearm, must be allowed under our Second Amendment, to every Law Abiding American Citizen. This includes Stocks, Sights and Scopes, Holsters and Protective Cases, various Hand Grips as well as Suppressors. Also the Barrel lengths and Calibers must not be limited, nor should the amount of Ammo that person can have available at any time. There is an unseen but implied Right, for said person to have a comfortable personal and dependable need for any firearm, according to their individual likes and Lifestyles.
How does Illinois or any other gov. Entity JUSTIFY banning suppressors or anything else? In the interest of "their idea of interest ballancing they loose. How is it even an issue.
If suppressors aren't that important, then take them away from all military operators.
I appreciate the content of this channel. Thanks!
This argument seems to be going in circles. States are not following the decisions of the courts and appeals can go on forever. What is the real remedy to the violations of secured protections itemized in the National and States Constitutions?
If they’re not arms, then they’d to prove that they a dangerous object in their own right. How can a tube with baffles be dangerously to the user in it own right?
They are sooo right with this one. A suppressor ISN'T a firearm!
But a pistol brace is a whole ass rifle, a peice of metal with a drawing is an ACTUAL machine gun, a 3d printed gun is ethereal, and listening to anyone making these rules and allowing them to rule over you on your dollar is an atrocity.
If they are not firearms, Why does the ATF regulate them? If its not ARMs its not their bussines.
Thanks for the update 😊
How about them being safety equipment like ear plugs used to protect one’s ears? How many earplugs are regulated by the government?
By this logic, nobody should be allowed a muffler on their car in said state!
If they aren't firearms then the agency that regulates firearms has no authority to regulate them.
good info thank you for your work
Glad it was helpful!
@ hopefully everything will swing to a favorable decision and trickle upward to a federal law
So, The Constitution sees them as NOT weapons, yet the NFA does. Well, can't have it both ways. Suppressors ARE useful in self defense by not needing to take the time to don hearing protection during a home defense situation. As always, excellent video and thanks for your efforts!!!
I want constitutional open carry for all states
So there are adaptors that we use in piping. They can allow you to put an oil filter on your pew stick. Does that mean oil filters are illegal?
Invoke the "immunities and privileges clause" in the 14th Amendment. States can not inact laws or fines on citizens of the United States that are arbitrary or against the full rights of citizens of the United States Constitution
Anyone who says a silencer is not an arm, doesn't know what an arm is.... An arm is any tool used or meant to be used in defence. The opposite of an arm is any tool used for offense, and is called a weapon.
The silencer is literally self defence from damage to the ear drum.
As lifelong gun owner, why do we need suppressors anyway? I really like your channel, thanks.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Suppressors are not arms and therefore should not be illegal or fall under the NFA.
The questions I keep wanting the courts to ask...
1. Since your argument is that suppressors are not a firearm, why do you want to regulate or outright ban them?
2. Since your argument is that suppressors are not firearms, and you're acknowledging that they do not enhance or increase the capability of a firearm, that they're merely an accessory that you want to ban, why are you not trying to ban straps for rifles, textured grips (Hogue, Talon, etc) why are you not trying to ban night sights? Where is your consistency?
If a suppressor is not viewed as a 2 A item then please tell me what other use is there for a suppressor other than being used on a weapon???
If arms are used to protect oneself from death or serious bodily injury, and silencers protect one’s hearing (i.e. serious bodily injury) when using arms to protect one’s life. Aren’t silencers then an essential part of protecting oneself when using arms?
So it's IS an arm when they want it to be and it ISN'T an arm when they don't want to be. How convenient!
People of America. Fight to protect the Constitution and 2nd Amendment.
Keep up the good work. Thank You
If they are not going to consider suppressors as firearms---as the batf has for 90 years, then there is NO valid reason to ban them. Question: Would the Supreme Court have allowed the banning of flints to be used in flintlocks; or perhaps the banning of sights for a flintlock? How does that Latin phrase go---ad absurdum? A suppressor may not be NECESSARY to the function of a firearm but a firearm accessory is the ONLY thing it is used for.
Well if suppressors are not considered firearms or necessary to use a firearm then why are they regulated as firearms under the NFA. From what Illinios is saying, we don't need mufflers on motor vehicles either.
How about ending semi auto, regular capacity magazine bans. FOID requirements and registration requirements.
Thank you!!
PSA: "Arms" as it appears in the bill of rights does NOT equal "arms". Think about its use, particularly at the time. Nobody in history has ever used "arms" to refer to firearms specifically. When one shouts, "To arms!" do you think the intent is to have those manning the cannons pick up a musket instead, or to perform their assigned duty? Arms has ALWAYS been short for "ARMAMENTS". The textbook definition of (Armaments)? "Implements of war." An IMPLEMENT of war is: "a tool, utensil, or other piece of equipment, especially as used for a particular purpose." If it is used to engage a wartime enemy, it is prequalified by the 2nd Amendment. NO EXCEPTIONS.
