    Suppressors and SBRs should be removed from the NFA. There is absolutely no reason to regulate these items that do not make the gun more lethal than it already is. It’s an infringement and an unjust tax and hurdle to exercising your constitutional rights.

    Since the new US military rifles are all coming with a suppressed barrel shorter than 16 inches, the NFA has never looked so unconstitutional. Keep in mind the original $200 tax stamp when the NFA was passed in 1934 is the equivalent of over $4,000 today. It's indefensible.

I asked if he wanted to go shooting with me he said yes. When I opened my gun cabinet to see what he wanted to shoot. He asked where my suppressors were. I said they were illegal. He explained that in Germany shooting with a suppressor was considered being a good neighbor. I said I knew.

    I myself cannot stand any more hearing damage. Several years ago I took my grandson to an indoor range where we were the only shooters. As we were leaving I did not notice a new shooter enter. Just as I was entering the exit I began to remove my hearing protection and at that exact time the shooter fired a 357 magnum just to my right. I suffered permanent damage to my right ear. I also had a head cold which limited the pressure equalization in that ear. I love to shoot and easy and cheap access to silencers would be a blessing. Our lawmakers have watched too many movies where silencers are used and think we are assassins.

    Interesting that the dogs hearing was brought up. It's one of the reasons that I do all of my target shooting with suppressors. The dogs are always with me at my property and I want to protect their hearing. If I am going to shoot unsuppressed, the dogs go into the truck with the windows rolled up and the AC on to protect them. I usually wear plugs and muffs.

After the shots and the command, he jumps in and leaves the muffs tied to a tree or the boat seat. With his ears flat under the muffs, he probably has about a 35 db reduction. It works BEAUTIFULLY!

    Czech Republic. Silencers are "class C firearms", meaning that they are serialized and registered, but you do not need to get paperwork ahead of purchase. You buy it and then you have 10 days to bring it in to the police and register it. Note that firearm possession (including silencers) requires a license in Czech Republic, but the license is shall issue. Funny story. A sporting goods chain called Decathlon which also operates in countries where silencers are unregulated recently made an oopsie when they delivered silencers into Czech stores and put them on shelves. Several gun owners bought them because this happened soon after silencers were legalized here (under the conditions described above, whereas previously they were MIL/LE only) and they did not know the details and just assumed that if the store gives it to them without even having to show a gun license, then it must be OK.

    Where we will run into trouble is the nasty habit of packing the jury. I was on a jury panel. All I knew about the case was it involved a gun. When asked if I knew anything about guns, I answered I am an Army veteran, I fired the M1, M14, M1911, BAR, and Ma Deuce. I never got to my status as an NRA volunteer rifle and hunter safety instructor before I was bounced from the jury. This sort of thing is like bouncing licensed drivers from reckless driving and auto accident cases. I was under the impression that the purpose of a trial was to ARRIVE AT THE TRUTH, not necessarily to convict the accused. Getting people with different backgrounds is one of the reasons we have juries. It makes it harder for prosecutors and judges with political agendas to cause wrongful convictions. Two cases where the suspect appeared to be wrongly convicted appeared in your gunzine columns. One involved someone wrongly convicted of possession of a machine gun because of a defective sear caused his M16 modern sporting rifle to occasionally double. The fact that the prosecutor motioned and the judge excluded mention of defective sear would to me have introduced reasonable doubt. The second case I recalled involved a suicide involving reloaded ammo. Again prosecution motioned and the judge excluded mention of reloaded ammo. The powder burn evidence showed a discharge from inches away. The crime lab used factory cartridges to replicate the powder burn pattern. Since reloaders can tell reloaded ammo from factory cartridges by looking at the case, excluding mentioning of reloading would to me have introduced a reasonable doubt. With factory ammo, this "evidence" (sic) showed the gun was farther away, and the accused was convicted of having held the gun and murder. Conviction should be to a moral certainty and beyond a reasonable doubt. Silencers should never have been subject to the same treatment as machine guns and short barreled rifles and shotguns. My Army service left me with hearing damage. I would have benefited by suppressing my rifles and pistols, but the NFA thought different. If they do the same bull#### I saw regarding stacking juries and Biden's desire to pack the Supreme Court with judicial activists instead of Constitutionalists, we got an uphill fight. I might mention that in the Army, I was called a s### house lawyer because of my ability to see past a lot of the monkey business that amounted to misapplication of Army regulations. Didn't always work. Ended up getting an article 15 for an event that involved saving the lives of two soldiers who would have died from hypothermia had I not acted.

    You only truthfully answer the question. “Yep, I know which end the bullets come from” asked more “I tried hunting, didn’t care for it”…. I was on jury involving a semi driver who was careless (likely also improperly adjusted brakes on O/O truck/trailer). I answered honestly. But did not volunteer I am a CDL, did month over the road when friends co-driver got hurt… so I took his place. Lawyers told a crazy story. Outside dual rolls, inside locked. 8 backed up “icy” loading dock, but 18 properly adjusted tires can’t hold 3x. He never adjusted to situation. The jury went from $$$$$ to driver. To just small amount. If nobody was there that understood pre trip, drivers responsibility, how equipment works.. stuff the lawyer on defense should have done. If I had kept talking. I would likely have been excused. Be honest. Just don’t tell life story.

    Hi, great channel by the way! Im from the UK and own hunting rifles here in 243 and 270 calibre. The “suppressor” as you call it, is called a “moderator”, or “sound moderator” over here, due to its ability to moderate sound. Not a muffler as you termed it. We have to state a valid reason for owning one which can only be done in conjunction with a valid firearms certificate. The reason we state for its use, is for our own hearing protection, if you hunt in forests or woods for example, the sound to the shooter, without a moderator can be very uncomfortable and can even lead to hearing damage through repeated use which I’m sure you are fully aware of. Keep up the good work, this is one of my favourite shooting related channels.

The point made about being a "card carrying good guy" - having been investigated by the government for 6 months (and how that can be used in front of a jury) - is an excellent point. It has changed my mind in considering a suppressor for self/home defense. Thanks Massad Ayoob and Bill Wilson.

    Mr. Wilson I am glad to hear this discussion on silencers. You highlighted a concern I have regarding blowback when shooting semi autos. This would argue in favor of going to lead free catalyst primers like federal uses. I love the ballistics of your Lehigh defender bullets but I am reluctant to purchase greater quantities by my concern of breathing in lead from the primers. The military is so concerned about this that they are expressly asking for low blow back silencers to avoid their special forces exposure. Please add lead free catalyst primers to your Lehigh cartridges. They are already a premium product so cost would be if little issue and I would think this would be a selling point especially considering the bullet is already lead free. Regards, Jim

    It’s best to have a home defense weapon that’s suppressed. It pairs well with a set of powered ear pro. The miffs knocks out any blast from your ears, the suppressor protects the ears of your family and the muffs allow you to hear the threat even better than without them.

    In New Zealand where I live suppressors have been freely available to anyone ever since I can remember (and I'm 80)... Most hunting rifles have them, and almost all .22s. Handguns are heavily regulated here so moderators are not as common on them. The most commonly used firearm for self defence seems to the .22RF, but I don't think the courts here view silencers in a negative way at all, as we have always had them. In fact, some of the very best ones in the world are made right here....they guys have had a LOT of practice... 🙂. The other self defence weapon seems to a shotgun of some sort, and there are silencers for those that are bulky, but light (mostly plastic) and a uncannily quiet, especially with trap loads..... They are not common though....

    "Cat", here, Sir! Another excellent video/teaching moment by you and associates! Thank you! There are two subjects I would like for you to consider for future Wilson Combat sponsored videos, please. 1. How are veterans, especially combat vets with Combat PTSD Chronic Unemployable VA compensated disability ratings up to 100% affected, in general, by local, county, state and federal laws and regulations running the full gamet of the shooting sports? According to the mental health bible, The DSM, Combat PTSD Chronic Unemployable is defined as a "mental illness" and in some cases as a "severe mental illness"? 2. A video discussing the prime first reaction to receiving fire of finding cover or shelter first and then shooting back, when possible? Too many training facilities and individuals stress standing your ground upright and returning fire "hollywood fashion" while fully exposed. Even before dropping to the ground/floor, rolling over your back aligned parallel with the target in the least exposed position possible and returning fire?

A friend got two hogs, side by side, in 5 seconds with a suppressed 300blk bolt gun, and the second hog didn't even move after the first dropped. also really nice to not have to worry about hearing protection (most of the time) when hunting.

    A suppressor can keep the hunter from being the hunted. Situational awareness in the field is critical. One needs to be able to hear if they are being stalked by a predator. It only makes sense and is obvious. In a tactical situation it enables the good guys to be aware and communicate without destroying their hearing.

A couple of guys the next lane over did not realize that I was using a suppressor, and remarked on how quiet it was. I held it at an angle so they could see the suppressor, they thought it was cool. On my Ar-15 all I can say is wow, what a difference.

    Built an AR in 300 blk for many reasons. It's a legal round for taking deer in my area and the platform is great for my kids to use. Also the versatility of that round to be loaded sub or supersonic lends itself to better suppressor use. I'm hoping to make use of that fact within a couple years. I will probably upgrade to an adjustable gas block at the same time though.

    I keep hearing that any NFA item affects your rights specifically to search by the ATF. The two most common stories I hear are you allow the ATF to search and inspect any NFA item on demand and that you are required to inform the ATF of where any NFA item is located or stored at all times so they can inspect it at will. I have also heard many say these are myths but never from any source authoritative enough that I would take their word on it. I keep saying that I will pay for a consultation with an attorney specialized in firearms/criminal code to get an answer but it always gets passed over as just another hoop that is too much trouble to take and I refuse to give up my civil rights / liberties to own an NFA item so it just gets pushed year after year. Would love to hear what Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ayoob know about these or other NFA myths.

    The only thing they can inspect without a warrant are the nfa items in question. However they can use this.waiver to enter your home or place of business for the purpose of inspecting said items. They'll seldom, if ever, do so unless they suspect some crime has been committed. So don't commit crimes. Or be stupid. Have a way of accessing your gun safe without having a bunch of strangers traipsing through your family room.

Silencershop, or capital armory the largest nfa dealers in the country I believe have addressed this in video or faq. A silencer tax stamp is literally a Boston tea party style stamp that's on your paperwork. The confusion is from class III SOT dealers. They submit to similar rules although not all you listed and a few you did not.

Could cover up the NFA ATF search debate, how many decibels suppressors actually reduce, form 1 vs form 4, solvent traps, cleaning/durability, sharing suppressors across platforms and there are probably more out there too.

    This is 100% myth and gun store rumors. Owning NFA items as a private citizen DOES NOT allow for warrantless searches/inspections of NFA items. Where this myth comes from is if you have an FFL (federal firearms license) to run a gun store THEN the ATF can conduct warrantless searches/inspections. 99.99% of the time when the ATF shows up at a private residence in regards to NFA items is when the actual owner of said items dies and the relatives call the ATF in regards to how to transfer them or get rid of them (which this area of the NFA world is already covered on how to complete).
