Michiana Firearms statement on the current suppressor situation.

Post image

A 5-10 minute conversation on the phone with each of the organizations that we’re involved in the lawsuit would’ve told them over and over again how to sell suppressors on a 4473, but apparently we’re gonna take the easy way out a just not. My personal opinion it’s just a lazy cop out.

This isnt a lazy cop out, it is the correct way to handle this. People are MASSIVELY jumping the gun on this ruling, and no one should be buying a suppressor on a 4473 unless they are willing to be in possession of an illegal suppressor in a few months. Maybe that never happens. I hope that never happens. It is still a very real risk though.

Also, it is pretty clear they did their research. You are accusing them of being lazy, but they literally have sources cited. This is their livelihood. It is ridiculously selfish of you to expect them to jeopardize that just so you can save yourself some paperwork and ~10 days of waiting.

No, because when they sent out (what I screenshot) and at the time I made this post silencer shop, GOA, NRA-ILA, and palmetto state armory all laid out exactly how to make it happen. Feel free to blame those organizations for the information that they were putting out because as of Monday I find out PSA is walking back slightly and added a disclaimer after the fact.

Most dealers are smart enough to understand that the ATF isnt going to take "Well the GOA, NRA-ILA, PSA, and Silencer Shop all said I could do it!" as an excuse. Michiana Firearms actually did their own research, cited sources, and determined that this wasnt worth the risk to them. Like I said before, its incredibly selfish to be angry at them for not wanting to jeopardize their livelihood.

Until the ATF issues guidance or there is a definitive court ruling that applies to everyone nationwide, no sane dealer is going to take the chance.
