Some dealers are hesitant to transfer suppressors on a 4473 in the absence of any clear direction from the ATF and I get it. If you had ever been threatened by them and don’t have millions for a legal fight, you’d understand.
That’s assuming they actually send you a letter or talk to you and don’t just
kick your door down and kill you at 6am in front of your family.
In Oregon we have another problem. Possession of a suppressor is a class B felony here, with statutory relief being federal registration. Meaning they’re illegal but you can’t be arrested or charged as long as it’s registered federally. If you were no longer able to register federally, it could be argued that suppressors would then simply be illegal by default and could effectively prevent further transfers in Oregon until our state laws changed. I’m sure there are other states with similar issues.
The whole situation is a mess.
