Uh, really? Does Amazon have any idea what these really are?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Amazon can't really be completely clueless what these are, can they?

To add to their cluelessness:

Fender washers indeed! :) :)

What is not funny is the downplayed and under reported recent strike in California on the power plant.
Perhaps Governmental resources should be redirected from harmless minutiae
and sent to protect the various energy and power sites.

Guess the New York Slimes finds it more important to focus
its reportage on Governor Christie's girth and bridge work
to help recycle Hillary instead.

Alice in Wonderland was more realistic. God protect us.

of course they are clueless. 1/2 28 thread isn't exactly common outside of the firearms industry.

It is only being sold to adapt a solvent trap for cleaning. If you purchased it with the intent of constructing a suppressor you could find yourself jammed up by the man.

Yeah, it might only look suspicious if you were maybe buying specific parts together that might allow it to be adapted into a suppressor with certain filters.

Did not the ATF once ask Paladin Press for a list of people
purchasing books on various topics?

Guess in this new era of low information voters who quail at reading
more than a ten word paragraph it is easier to ask Amazon for the list of those buying
certain items.

In another life there were 'Honey Traps' set up for Boobs to catch assets.

Now could it be "Patch Trap/Liquid Catch Aluminum Oil Filter Adapter"
to catch Boobs?

I like the "Patch Trap/Liquid Catch Aluminum Oil Filter Adapter 3/4 -16
Size fits Ruger 10/22, Marlin 795, Mossberg 705". D.A.Q sold these in the
1970's with locking threads for the back sight.

Funniest part of the whole thing is every guy that clicked on this thread.... now has a record somewhere on your hard disk of viewing suppressor parts.

That is really neat, 'cause any one of us could end up being the guy just happens to end up on TV asking Hillary a question.

When Hillary replies "I think it is just good that we spread the wealth around" we can more easily become the target of demoralization and ridicule.

The headlines will read "gun activist attacks Hillary: has a history of trying to purchase illegal gun parts" when the media destroys the integrity of a law abiding citizen to protect yet another stateist.

I can see the revised headlines from 2007 now: "Joe the plumber being investigated by ATF for intent to violate gun laws"

When you think about the fundamentals here, it shows the futility and lunacy of regulating silencers and even gun parts in general.

Honest law abiding folks are the easiest to alight on.
Honest law abiding folks for the most part do not wind up
in politics ... easier to name the exceptions.

Smoking ... as it should ... is not just to be avoided but is
a dragon for the political corrupt to SMOKE. :)

But pot is being embraced as harmless ... contrary to 1960's
ignored report on is having a legion of more dangerous elements.

Are there no sensible folks who see the disproportionate waste of
Federal Effort and manpower on simple metal parts that are inert, help the environment and
save hearing? They could still require paying the $200.00
tax at its purchase as with the firearms, serialize them as is done now,
with a simple automatic background check?

Historical Arms such as Lugers and Broomhandles with shoulder stocks are now
kosher.

Unless someone can prove otherwise, a suppressor can not be converted to making
a firearm fully automatic or become a dangerous device.

And the civil servant who modifies the rules with a savings of funds to the Government
each year does deserve a percentage saved. It worked years ago.

Hope springs eternal.

I think the "cluelessness" is irrelevant.

I went looking for parts for a AR (I needed a spacer to put into my buffer tube) and was talking to the kid how I shoot my AR suppressed and how it was so much nicer. Long story short I had to fill him in on how a can is legal, and laughed when he said they had to be hard to come by. . . as we stood next to SS tubing, fender washers, freeze plugs and about 20' away was washers and nuts that would have made an entire can. . .

I have a solvent trap at home. . . and I actually use it. I soak the s--t out of my upper, let all the gunk and s--t drain down into the trap, run some wipes, call it good. . . They do have a legitimate purpose.

Amazon isn't clueless, they just don't care. They sell all sorts of stuff that could be classed as drug paraphernalia as well.

And honestly, I appreciate the fact that they don't care. Do we want more companies like eBay that prohibit "high-capacity machine gun clips" and the like?

That series had a kind of a quirky human language emulator. They fixed it in later versions, but they never again had the same flair for the dramatic.

It's best to just hang with it until you learn to interpret his own particular style.

It is sort of like art, each person that reads his words takes home a slightly different understanding and opinion of the piece.

Persons who are older and experienced the times/events/situations he references have a more natural understanding that comes automatically. It seems to me the younger have to work a bit harder to read between the lines.

Agreed.

NFA rules are stupid. I have no interest in the products linked to in the OP. I have no intention of ever making an "undocumented quieting device". Not because the law is just, but because of the severity of the penalties.

That said, I could give a F--k less if someone else does.

Gun owners are their own worst enemies.

Here's a little thought experiment for gun owners: Do you think that there would be a movement to decriminalize Marijuana or to grant amnesty to Wets if people had been scrupulously following the laws regarding drug use and immigration for the past couple decades?

It would not upset the balance of the universe to delete this thread.

It has been argued that threads like this serve to educate the public but in my several decades of wandering the planet eventually it sunk in that some people simply cannot be taught even if they were able to find this thread.

But I also don't think it will matter much if you don't delete it.

Great point. Non-violent Civil Disobidience was once a legitimit form of protest. Now you can face: Indefinite Detention Act, No Right to Habeus Corpus, and being "disappeared."
Under the Roman Republic, Public Service (Army, Politics, Notary, Fire Brigade, etc) granted Right to own weapons.
In Feudal Japan, only Samarai were allowed to carry a sword under penalty of Public Beheading.
In Korea, Martial Arts Schools developed using farm tools as weapons because ALL weapons posession was forbiden under penalty of Death.
In Brazil, "Capoeira arose as a hope of survival for an escaped slave, completely unequipped, in this hostile, unknown land and against the capitães-do-mato, the armed and mounted colonial agents who were charged with capturing escapees. The dance was incorporated to avoid detection and corporal punishments. If slaves were caught practicing fighting techniques, they could be punished or executed. With music and rhythmic moves, they raised no suspicion of escape attempts."

These beg the ?, if US citizens have no 2nd Amend Rights, why do powerful politians get Private Armies to protect THEM?
1 man, 1 vote, 1 pistol seems a pretty good slogan. The Gov't is OF, BY, and FOR the People. Disarm Gov't Agents and rearm the Public like it was until Hoover began his reign of terror.
Watch the film J Edgar. It used to be unlawful for Public Agents to carry firearms during the discharge of our Duties. We were to "Summon the Armed Citizenry to seize the Person of the Accused."
This is still the text of the TX Code of Criminal Procedure!

I have come to this website and received good info to keep my fatass from going to jail. The info I got here on Form 1's has been very helpful, as long as this is viewed for what it is would be fine..... if it starts to lean into an area of how to break the law..... delete the thread. The reason I continue to come here is I get real info from people on the straight and narrow of doing things the right way.
