So looking more into this, and I have aid ZERO attention to it until yesterday, SBRs still require a Form approval from the ATF. Oh, well, one step at a time.

And for what it's worth I'm now a paying member of GOA, might just spring for the lifetime membership. I like what they are doing.

This does not currently apply to purchases of short-barreled rifles or short-barreled shotguns. Although the Court's ruling reached SBRs and SBSs along with suppressors, PSA cannot sell you one without ATF authorization, and that has nothing to do with the NFA provisions the Court enjoined.

The barrier is in the Gun Control Act, not the National Firearms Act. Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(4), a federal licensee may not sell or deliver a short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun (or a machine gun or destructive device) to any person "except as specifically authorized by the Attorney General consistent with public safety and necessity" That provision was not challenged in this case and was not enjoined. In practice, the required authorization is the approved NFA transfer — which means an SBR or SBS purchase from us still requires the full Form 4 process.

So: SBR and SBS purchases at PSA are unchanged, at every location, online and in store.

Actually it’s better this way. Laws can be easily changed. Constitutionality rulings are really sticky.

Yes, you’re correct. Laws can be changed. However this isn’t a be all end all, even if taken to scotus. This was solely decided on as a taxing authority issue. Had zero to do with a 2A issue.
So *when* a new budget gets passed and takes the zero dollar tax on NFA items back to $200 or $2000, then the law is satisfied that congress has the power to create the unlawful gun registry, I mean… “give us a tax receipt”.
Even when settled, this is and will never be “over”.
The goal here is to acquire everything possible as quickly as possible.

Ummmmm, that cat was let out of the bag YEARS ago. And no one needs CNC files. There’s so many ways to home build one you’d never be able to make them all. And you can make your own files. Draw it, 3d print it.

After the hub-ub, I felt like I could "explain" it if I had to so I searched for "suppressor" on the zon.

I'm still getting suggestions for weird stuff like "fluid strainers".
