Gun silencer sales are booming

Postby AKPirate » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:35 pm

The civilian market for silencers soared 37% in 2013, when the total number shot up to nearly a half a million, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives registry. That's compared to 360,000 in 2012 and 285,000 in 2011.

Silencers are so popular that there's a nine-month wait to have a registration approved by the ATF, according to Ben Shim, a certified firearms instructor and gun industry analyst with CRT Capital Group in Stamford, Conn.

Even the e-filed ones are jammed up now.
It's taking my Class3 dealer 90+ day just to get the SOT paperwork approved to transfer a can from the manufacturer to the dealer!!


They should just scrap the BATFE and sell that shit over the counter.

In other news feral cat populations are on a rapid decline in the U.S.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

Ha ha - feral cats, urban squirrels, chipmunks.

It could take 2 years and I'd still wait for them, it's just that much fun.
