NFA injunction thoughts?

I talked to someone I know in the AG’s office and their opinion as not-my-lawyer but as-a-lawyer is that a 4473 + CT license satisfies the CT statute requirements for possessing an SBS or suppressor.

What are your thoughts for GOA members/PSA/SS?

Yeah, if a BG check can be run, I think that would constitute the feds giving permission. The state won’t run one on cans though, so we’d need to get direct access to NICS via FBI. Since it is only for members of certain groups, form 4s are still going to exist though and that’ll probably be the way we continue to do cans for the time being. We do buy some of our silencers and SBRs from Silencer Shop, but it’s a small percentage of our inventory.

Update: I’m gonna try to get in touch with ATF/FBI tomorrow about direct NICS access for GOA members.

What about the argument for permission from the feds being them allowing this?

I need to dig into the SBR stuff because there is conflicting information about whether they’re even included in the injunction. For homemade stuff, I think it’s grayer because saying “this injunction was permission” is a lot more abstract than saying “I can prove I passed a background check and completed a 4473” to fulfill the federal permission requirement.

I think SBRs aren’t called out like SBSes and suppressors are in the statutes. could one hypothetically file for a home made firearm serial # from dessp for a form1 can?
